Question

Find the slope of the line. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, negative 2) and (2, negative 4). a. -1 c. -2 b. 2 d. 1

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A) Slope = -1

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points given to us are (x1,y1) = (0,-2) and (x2,y2) = (2,-4)

Subtract the y coordinates

y2-y1 = -4-(-2) = -4+2 = -2

Subtract the x coordinates in the same order

x2-x1 = 2-0 = 2

Divide the two results to get the slope m

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

m = -2/2

m = -1
