Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = –1/2x + 1/4?

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is $-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation is

$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{4}.$

We know that the slope-intercept form of a straight line is given by

$y=mx+c,$

where, 'm' is the slope and 'c' is the y-intercept of the line.

Comparing the given equation with the slope-intercept form, we get

$m=-\dfrac{1}{2},~~\textup{and}~~c=\dfrac{1}{4}.$

Thus, the slope of the given line is $-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Answer 2

The slope of the line is -1/2
