Question

What is the slope of the line

Answer 1

Explanation:

(0, -2) (-2, 0) = (0 + 2)/(-2 - 0) = 2/-2 = -1

the slope of the line is -1

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

Look at two easy to read points:

(0, -2) and (-2, 0)

To go from (0, -2) to (-2, 0), go up 2. That is a rise of 2. Now go 2 to the left. That is a run of -2.

slope = rise/run = 2/(-2) = -1

Answer:

slope = -1
