Q:

The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar: Image 1 Which statement about the slope of the line is true? A It is βˆ’2 throughout the line. B It is fraction negative 1 over 2 throughout the line. C The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.D The slope from point O to point A is 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B

Accepted Solution

A:
The correct answer is B, the slope is -1/2.

This is because m, or slope, in the equation for this line is equal to -1/2.

y = -1/2x
