Answer:
C. -3
Explanation:
Given problem;
To solve for the slope of the line;
The slope of a line is the vertical distance to the horizontal displacement on a line.
Slope = [tex]\frac{Vertical distance}{horizontal displacement}[/tex]
For lines such as this, we use the formula below;
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]
To find the slope reference the image attached;
point 1 (0,4) x₁ = 0 y₁ = 4
point 2 (2,-2) x₂ = 2 y₂ = -2
Now input the parameters and solve;
Slope = [tex]\frac{-2 - 4}{2 - (0)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{2}[/tex]
Slope = -3
The slope of the line is -3
