Question

What is the slope of the line graph? Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{3}$.

Explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the line passing through many points.

The coordinates of three given points are (-6,6), (0,4) and (6,2).

If a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, the slope of the lie is defined by,

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

The line passing through two points (0,4) and (6,2). So the slope of the line is,

$m=\frac{2-4}{6-0}$

$m=\frac{-2}{6}$

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer 2

(-6,6) (6, 2)
slope = (6 - 2)/(-6 -6) 
 = 4/-12
 = -1/3

answer
slope = -1/3
