Question

What is the slope of the line plotted below? A. 1 B. 2 C. -2 D. -1

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The slope of the line plotted is, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we have two points;

(0, 1) and (2, -3)

We have to find the slope of the given line plotted:

Slope of a line(m) is defined as the line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.

it is given by;

$m = \frac{\text{Change in variable yaxis}}{\text{Change in variable x-axis}}$

i.e  $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$m = \frac{-3-1}{2-0}=\frac{-4}{2} = -2$

Therefore, the slope of the line plotted is, -2

Answer 2

Answer:

C. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line we take two points

((0,1) and (2, -3)

and use the formula for slope

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = (-3-1)/(2-0)

    = -4/2

   = -2
