Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (Enter your answer as a decimal if
necessary.)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a drop from 3 to 0. ∆y = -3

The run goes from  -2 to 4. ∆x = 6

slope = ∆y / ∆x

slope  = -3/6 = -1/2

slope = -0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

slope=-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(0-3)/(4-(-2))=-0.5
