Find the slope of the following lines
2 answers:
Hey there!
The slope of the given line is -2
We can solve this by doing rise over run. Pick a point and see how much it goes up (positive number) or down (negative number) - numerator - and put it over the number it goes left (negative number) or right (positive number) - denominator. For example, in this situation, we can start at the point (2, -1), and we can see that we go up 2 and left 1, until we get to the next point (1, 1). Therefore, our fraction would be , or -2.
Hope it helps and have a great day!
