What is the slope of the line plotted below?
A. 1
B. 2
C. -2
D. -1

Answer:
C. -2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the line we take two points
((0,1) and (2, -3)
and use the formula for slope
m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (-3-1)/(2-0)
= -4/2
= -2
Answer:
Option C is correct.
The slope of the line plotted is, -2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph we have two points;
(0, 1) and (2, -3)
We have to find the slope of the given line plotted:
Slope of a line(m) is defined as the line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
it is given by;
[tex]m = \frac{\text{Change in variable yaxis}}{\text{Change in variable x-axis}}[/tex]
i.e [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Substitute the given values we have;
[tex]m = \frac{-3-1}{2-0}=\frac{-4}{2} = -2[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line plotted is, -2
