Question

Can someone try to explain this? I'm super confused. my teacher is no help, he won't answer any of my emails :(​

Answer 1

Slope is negative 1

Explanation:

You can either find it in 2 ways. (1) pick 2 coordinates and find the slope by solving for y1-y2 divided by x1-x2. way number 2 is (2) by counting the spaces. slope is rise over run, so we can see the the coordinate went down 1, which is negative one. and it went 1 space to the right. so by setting up the equation, it would be -1/1, which equals negative 1. message me if u have a problem, kinda hard to explain it in words.

Answer 2

`m=-1`

Explanation:

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

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

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

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

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

`m=-1`
