Find the slope of the following graph with these points:

Question

(-1,4) (0,2) (1,0) (2,-2)

A.) 1/2
B.) 2
C.) -2
D.) -1/2

Answer 1

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Using the first two points, (-1, 4) and (0, 2):

slope = (2 - 4) / (0 - (-1)) = (-2) / (1) = -2

So, the correct answer is C.) -2.
