Find the slope of the line given its graph.

Question

2
1/2
4
-1/2

Answer 1

The slope of the line can be determined by the change in the y-values divided by the change in the corresponding x-values.

Given the points (2, 1/2) and (4, -1/2), the change in the y-values is (-1/2 - 1/2) = -1, and the change in the x-values is (4 - 2) = 2.

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2.
