To find the slope you use the equation:
m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)
You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)
m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)
m = 1 ÷ (-2)
m = - 1/2
Next you use this equation:
y = mx + b
Because you know m you plug it in.
y = -1/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)
y = -1/2x + b
1 = -1/2(0) + b
1 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = -1/2x + 1

Answer:
Slope = 0.06
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are not asked what to calculate but we can as welll look for the slope of the relationship.
Slope in this scenario will be the rate of change in price of milk with respect to time.
Slope = ∆P/∆t
The standard equation will be expressed as P = mt+c where
m is the slope
t is time
P is the price of milk.
Comparing this with the given model
P(t)=0.06t+2.52
On comparison, we can see that;
m = 0.06
Hence the slope of the expression is 0.06
To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles.
