Question

What is the slope ( it has a slope of -2) (it has a slope of -1) (it has a slope of 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = ( - 1, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{2-0}{-1-0}$ = $\frac{2}{-1}$ = - 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$slope = -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine two points

We need to take two points off of the equation that is used in thsi graph and we can see that we have (0, 0) and (-1, 2)

Step 2:  Determine the slope

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

$m = \frac{2 - 0}{-1 - 0}$

$m = \frac{2}{-1}$

$m = -2$

Answer:  $slope = -2$
