Question

find the slope of the following graph

Answer 1

m=-1/2

Answer 2

to find slope for this we have to take two points. (x1, y1) and (x2,y2)

see in the graph if (x1, y1) = (0,2) and (x2,y2) = (-1,4)

to find slope we have to take

\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

so plugging values of x1,y1 and x2,y2 in the above we get

\[\frac{ 4-2 }{ -1-0 }\]

2/-1

so the slope is -2
