Question

A line goes through the point (0.5, 0.25) and (1, –0.75). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

-1/2, or -0.5

Explanation:

Slope = delta y/delta x

In this situation, you would do.

0. 5 - 1 / 0.25 - (-0.75)

0.5 - 1 = -0.5

0.25 -(-0/75) = 1

-0.5 / 1 = slope

-0.5 = slope

or

-1/2 = slope

Hope this helps!
