Question

Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, but a mixer number or decimal .

Answer 1

m = -1/2

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Simply plug in 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find our slope m:

(-8, 0) x-int

(0, -4) y-int

m = (0 + 4)(-8 - 0)

m = 4/-8

m = -1/2
