Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (−2, 0) and (0, 4)? (5 points) 2 Undefined −2 0

Answer 1

The answer is option 1.

Explanation:

You have to apply Gradient formula :

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

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

`let \: (x2 \: , \: y2) \: be \: (0 \: , \: 4)`

`m = (4 - 0)/(0 - ( - 2))`

`m = (4)/(2)`

`m = 2`

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

The formula you use to find the slope is

`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

First, you want to substitute

`(4-0)/(0--2)`

Which simplifies to

`(4-0)/(0+2)`

Because two negatives equal a positive

The next step is to add and subtract

`(4)/(2)`

Which simplifies to

`(2)/(1)`

Which equals

2.
