Answer 1

The slope is -2

Step 1:

Remember the equation for slope—

Rise/run (How many units go up/ how many go across) (one point to another)

Step 2:

We will use the point at (0,0) and (-1,2)

Looking at the graph, to get to these points you go up 2, and over 1.

Since you are going to the left when connecting these points, it is negative. This makes the answer -2
