Answer:
slope = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] if it were in an
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph is a negative and will therefore have a negative slope. to find the slope, pick a point on the graph and find the [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex].
for instance, start with the point (0,1). Then go down 1 and left 2 to get to the next point on the graph (2,0). 1 is the "rise" and 2 is the "run" hence -1/2 being the slope.
you could also use the slope formula: [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]
point 1: (0,1) (x₁ ,y₁)
point 2: (2,0) (x₂ , y₂)
[tex]\frac{0-1}{2-0} =-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
