Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

-1/2.

Explanation:

The slope of this line is -1/2.

The line is going in a negative direction, so the slope will be negative.

We can use "rise/run" to find the slope.

First, find two perfect coordinates on the line.

Lastly, draw your "staircase."

The horizontal line is your run and the vertical line is your rise.
