Question

what is the slope of the line on the graph?

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

Let's take two points on the line: $(0, 2)$ and $(- 4,0)$.

Step2: Apply slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 2,x_2=-4,y_2 = 0$. Then $m=\frac{0 - 2}{-4-0}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
