Question

Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, not mixed number or decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is:

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m of a line is calculated using the following formula

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

Where the points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$  are two points belonging to the straight line

Notice in the graph that the line passes through the points

(0, 2) and (2, -1)

Then the slope is:

$m=\frac{-1-2}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{-3}{2}$
