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

Answer:

$m=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

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

$m=\frac{0-(-2)}{-2-0}$

$m=\frac{0+2}{-2}$

$m=\frac{2}{-2}$

$m=-1$

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope is negative 1

Step-by-step 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.
