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. answer attempt 1 out of 2 slope of the line: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

Let's take the points $(0, 6)$ and $(6,0)$.

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

The rise is the change in $y$ - values: $y_2 - y_1=0 - 6=-6$. The run is the change in $x$ - values: $x_2 - x_1=6 - 0 = 6$.

Step3: Calculate the slope

The slope $m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{-6}{6}=- 1$.

Answer:

$-1$
