is the slope of this line positive or negative?\na) positive\nb) negative
is the slope of this line positive or negative?\na) positive\nb) negative
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall the slope formula
The slope formula is (m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}). Let's take two points on the line. From the graph, we can take ((x_1,y_1)=(0,1)) and ((x_2,y_2)=(4,0)).
Step2: Calculate the slope
Substitute the values into the formula: (m=\frac{0 - 1}{4 - 0}=\frac{-1}{4}=-\frac{1}{4}).
Answer:
B. negative
