Question

find the slope of the line. slope: $m = square$ enter your answer as an integer or as a reduced fraction in the form a/b.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take $(0, - 2)$ and $(2, - 1)$.

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1=-2,x_2 = 2,y_2=-1$. Then $m=\frac{-1-(-2)}{2 - 0}=\frac{-1 + 2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
