Question

Not sure about this one help please

Answer 1

Answer:

a) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is also known as the gradient

1. assign a value to x and solve for y:

when x = 2, y = 2

when x = 4, y = 0

2. Next, use the equation of a straight line to find the gradient

y = mx + c

y is the y-coordinate, m is the gradient, x is the x-coordinate, c is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is found by equating y to 0 and solving for x

so y = mx + c becomes 2 = m*2 + 4, which then becomes 2 = 2m + 4

2m = -2 (take 4 away from 2)

m = -1
