Question

draw a line representing the
ise\ and a line representing the
un\ of the line. state the slope of the line in simplest form. click twice to plot each segment. click a segment to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take two points, say $(- 4,2)$ and $(4,-2)$.

Step2: Calculate the rise

Rise is the change in $y$-values. $y_2 - y_1=-2 - 2=-4$.

Step3: Calculate the run

Run is the change in $x$-values. $x_2 - x_1=4-(-4)=8$.

Step4: Calculate the slope

The slope $m=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}=\frac{-4}{8}=-\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

The slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{2}$
