Question

How do you find the slope of the line containing the pair of points (2,0) and (0,-1)?

Answer 1

`1/2`

Explanation:

Finding slope (`m`) using two points: `(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, where `(x_1, y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` are the two points.

Plug the points in:

`(-1-0)/(0-2)`

`(-1)/(-2)`

`1/2`
