Question

What is the slope of the line below? (Convert your fraction to a decimal)

Answer 1

m= -0.25

Explanation:

step1: identify any two points passing through the line.

(2,6) x1=2 y1=6

(6,5) x2=6 y2=5

step2: sub the values into the slope formula.

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

`=(5-6)/(6-2)`

step3: simplify the fraction and solve for m.

`=(-1)/(4)`

step4: convert the answer into decimals.

=-0.25
