Answer: slope, m = -1/2(coefficient of x in the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-1/2x+4
We will compare the equation with the slope intercept equation ,
y = mx + c
Where y is the dependent variable
m is the slope
x is the independent variable
c is the intercept. This is where the line on the graph cuts the y axis
For y=-1/2x+4,
the intercept ,c is 4
Slope = m =-1/2
-1/2 is a negative slope because negative sign. This means the plotted line moves from up to down
