Question

[ please help! ] The graph below shows a line segment PQ.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope of the line segment PQ is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a line connecting two points P and Q.

The coordinates of P are (4,4) and the coordinates of Q are (-2,1).

Slope of line joining two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$

is given by the formula $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Hence the slope of the line PQ is $\frac{1-4}{-2-4}=\frac{-3}{-6}= \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore correct option is 'C' that is 1/2.
