Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (Enter your answer as a decimal if
necessary.)

Answer 1

slope=-0.5

Explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(0-3)/(4-(-2))=-0.5

Answer 2

slope = -0.5

Explanation:

There is a drop from 3 to 0. ∆y = -3

The run goes from -2 to 4. ∆x = 6

slope = ∆y / ∆x

slope = -3/6 = -1/2

slope = -0.5
