Question

What is the slope of line m?




A.2



B.-2



C.-1/2



D.1/2

Answer 1

Take the two points, (-2, 0) and (0, -4).

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

Plug the numbers in.
$\frac{0-(-2)}{-4-0}$ = -$\frac{1}{2}$

C) -1/2

Answer 2

Hi there!

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Exploring Slope/ and slope intercept form

First, you use slope formula.

$SLOPE=\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{(-4)-0=-4}{0-(-2)=0+2=2}=\frac{-4}{2}=\frac{-4/2}{2/2}=\frac{-2}{1}=-2$

Slope is -2

Answer is -2

*the answer must have a negative sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
