The slope of the line and describe is the negative 0.5 which means in this situation will be negative 0.5 miles per minute.
<h3>What is the slope?</h3>
The slope is the ratio of rising or falling and running. The difference between the ordinate is called rise or fall, and the difference between the abscissa is called run.
Joseph drove from his summer home to his place of work.
To avoid the road construction, Joseph decided to travel the gravel road.
After driving 20 minutes, he was 62 miles away from work, and after driving 40 minutes, he was 52 miles away from work.
This situation is shown in the graph below.
Then the slope of the line and describe what it means in this situation will be
Slope = (52 – 62) / (40 – 20)
Slope = – 10 / 20
Slope = – 0.5 miles per minute
