To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
From the graph, we can see that the coordinates of the two points are (0, 3) and (1, 1).
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
slope = (1 - 3) / (1 - 0)
= -2 / 1
= -2
Therefore, the slope of the line is B. -2.
What is the slope of the line shown in the graph? (4 points)
