2
d.
1



Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1

Therefore when applied to this, the formula is -4-(-2) over 2-0

This would be -2 over 2 or -1 over 1 which is equal to -1

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is a

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula:    $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

  work :  $\frac{-4-(-2)}{2-0}$

$\frac{-2}{2}$ or -1
