Question

What is the slope of the line

Answer 1

m = -2

Explanation:

You can use the
`(rise)/(run)` approach for this. You start at the first point, (0, 2). Then, you go down 2 units to get to the same y level as the second point. Then, you move 1 unit to your second point.

`-(2)/(1)` is your slope.

Reduce it: -2.

You can also use the slope formula (
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`) with the two points [(0, 2) and (1, 0)]

`(0-2)/(1-0) = (-2)/(1) = -2`
