Answer 1

Answer:

-2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

rise over run down 2, -2   run we ran 4  +4

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph of straight line to find the slope of the line.

First we choose two points on line and then using formula to find the slope.

Formula:

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

Point on line from graph: (2,-1)  and (-2,1)

$x_1\rightarrow 2$

$y_1\rightarrow -1$

$x_2\rightarrow -2$

$y_2\rightarrow 1$

Substitute the points into formula

$m=\dfrac{1+1}{-2-2}$

$m=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, The slope of the line is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$
