Hey there! :)
We're trying to find the slope of the line on the graph (not given, but that's okay). We're given the points (-2, 2) and (4, 0).
Using the slope equation, we simply just have to plug our points in and boom - there's your slope!
Slope equation : m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
Now, using our given points, we can very simply plug everything in! :)
Now, in case you didn't know which number aligns with which variable, I'll go ahead and help you out with this.
x₁ = -2 , x₂ = 4 , y₁ = 2 , y₂ = 0
Now, let's plug and chug!
m = (0 - 2) / (4 - (-2))
Simplify.
m = -2 / 4 + 2
Simplify.
m = -2 / 6
Simplify.
m = -1/3
So, our slope is -1/3.
~Hope I helped!~
