Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passes through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

From the give graph, the line is passing through (4,4) and (2,5).

Then the slope of line will be :-

$m=\dfrac{5-4}{2-4}=\dfrac{1}{-2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Hence, the slope of the line on the graph$=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify two points on the line

2,5 & 4,4

Step 2: Select x1, y1 & x2, y2

x1 = 4, y1 = 4  x2 = 2 , y2 = 5

Step 3: Use the Slope Formula

change y/ change x

IMPORTANT: it is change in y over change in x, not the other way around. It will be wrong if done the other way, though that would seem to be more logical, since x is the first variable in the pair.

Y    4 - 5 = -1

X    4 - 2 = 2

-1/2
