Question

question
draw a line representing the “rise” and a line representing the “run” 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 2 out of 2
slope of the line: $\frac{-4}{2}$ submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

From the graph, we can see two points: \((0, 5)\) and \((2, 1)\) (or other suitable points, but let's use these for calculation).

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

Rise is the change in \(y\)-values: \(y_2 - y_1 = 1 - 5 = -4\)
Run is the change in \(x\)-values: \(x_2 - x_1 = 2 - 0 = 2\)

Step3: Calculate the slope

Slope \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2\) (Simplifying \(\frac{-4}{2}\) gives \(-2\))

Answer:

\(-2\)
