Question

What is the slope of this line

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

Answer 2

Answer : The slope of this line is, $\frac{-3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation :

The general form for the formation of a linear equation is:

$(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)$ .............(1)

where,

x and y are the coordinates of x-axis and y-axis respectively.

m is slope of line.

Now we have to calculate the slope of line.

Formula used :

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

Here,

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(4,-1)$

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

$m=\frac{-3}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of this line is, $\frac{-3}{4}$
