Question

Can someone help me plsss

Answer 1

The slope of the line is
`(-1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The rule of the slope of a line is

• m =
  `(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

• (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points lie on the line

→ Let us solve the question

∵ The line contains the points B (-4, 4) and R (0, 2)

∴ x1 = -4 and y1 = 4

∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above to find it

∵ m =
`(2-4)/(0--4)=(-2)/(4)=(-1)/(2)`

∴ m =
`(-1)/(2)`

∴ The slope of the line is
`(-1)/(2)` .
