Question

What is the slope of the line? slope = -2 slope = -1 slope = 1

Answer 1

The slope of the line is -1.

Explanation:

You have to choose any 2 coordinates and put into the gradient formula. I will choose (0,2) and (2,0) :

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

`let \: (2,0) \: be \: (x1,y1) \\ let \: (0,2) \: be \: (x2,y2)`

`m = (2 - 0)/(0 - 2)`

`m = (2)/( - 2)`

`m = - 1`

Answer 2

slope = -1

Explanation:

This is because it is downwards so it is negative and it is going one block by one block.

rise/run = -1/1 = -1
