Question

Which of the following best describes the slope of the line below ​

Answer 1

Negative

Option A is the right option.

Solution,

Consider two points (0,4) and (2,0) on the line.

(0,4)-----> (X1,y1)

(2,0)------->(x2,y2)

Now,

`slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = (0 - 4)/(2 - 0) \\ \: \: \: \: \: = ( - 4)/(2) \\ \: \: \: \: \: = - 2`

hope this helps ..

Good luck on your assignment..
