Q. 3 - Geometry

Question

 Find the slope of the line.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The slope of line is -1.

Step-1 – Given

The given line is:

Step-2 – To determine

We have to find the slope of the line with given two points on the line (0, 2) and (2, 0). 

Step-3 – Calculation

The slope formula of a line with two points$\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and$\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ is given by:

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

The given points are (0, 2) and (2, 0).

$m=\frac{0-2}{\left(2\right)-\left(0\right)}=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$

Hence the slope of line is -1.
