Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope formula:

(2-4)/(2-(-2)) = -2/4 = -1/2

you can also look at the graph and see it rises -2 (negative means goes DOWN 2) and runs 4, and the slope is rise/run, so it would be -2/4 which simplifies to -1/2

Answer:

The slope is negative one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as rise over run, or Δx/Δy, when going left to right.  In this case, the line goes from (-2,4) to (2,2), so the slope is:

[tex]\frac{2-4}{2 - (-2)} \\\frac{-2}{4}\\= \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
