Question

What is the slope of the line shown?
Slope=-1/2
Slope =7
Slope=2
Slope=-2

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

Get two points that intersect that line.

(1, 5) and (2, 3)

Find the rise and run.

As we can see to get from (1,5) to (2,3), we have to go to the right by 1 and go down by 2 (in this case the movement is -2 steps).

rise/run

-2/1 = -2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

To find the slope: Rise/Run

You go 2 steps down for every step you go right.

Your rise is -2 and your run is 1.

So your slope is -2.
