Question

HELP ME Use the figure shown. Let point D be at ( - 4,1). Use the sides of ABDA to find the slope of the line. Ay 4 3 C(-2,2) 2 B(-4, 2) 1 A(-2, 1) X -7-6-5-4-3-2 O The slope is???​

Answer 1

slope = -1/2

Explanation:

we use point B and point A to find the slope

A(-2,1) B(-4,2)

-2 = x1

1 = y1

-4 = x2

2 = y2

the formula for slope is: y/x = y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 = 1 -2 / -2-(-4) = -1/2
