Question

find the slope of the line graphed below.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

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

Step2: Apply slope formula

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

Answer:

$-2$
