Question

Find the slope of line $l$ in the above figure.

• A. $-3$
• B. $-2$
• C. $-\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$
• E. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $-\frac{1}{2}$

We know that the formula for the slope of a line passing through two points is:

Slope =$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{-1}{2}$
