Question

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-2}{0-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{1-2}{0+2}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}$
