Question 739006: what is the slope of the line y= -1/4x +2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of y=-1/4x+2 goes down 1, and over to the right 4.
This is because when you graph and there is a fraction in the equation, you use rise%2Frun, and since it is negative, the line decays. This line crosses at (0,2) because the y-intercept is 2.
