slope is also m
m= Y2-Y1 / X2-X1
X1= -2
X2= 0
Y1= 0
Y2= 4
4-0/0-(-2)
4/2
divide by 2
4/2= 2
2/2= 1
2*1= 2
Answer: slope is 2
For this case we have that by definition, the formula to find the slope of a line is given by:
[tex]m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}[/tex]
According to the data we have the following points:
[tex](x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 2,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 0.4)[/tex]
Substituting we have:
[tex]m = \frac {4-0} {0 - (- 2)} = \frac {4} {0 + 2} = \frac {4} {2} = 2[/tex]
