Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's assume two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) on the line. For simplicity, if the line passes through \((- 8,8)\) and \((8,-8)\)

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

The rise is \(y_2 - y_1=-8 - 8=-16\), and the run is \(x_2 - x_1=8-(-8)=16\)

Step3: Calculate the slope

The slope \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}=\frac{-16}{16}=- 1\)

Answer:

The slope of the line is \(-1\)
