(-2,2) (0,1)
slope = y1-y2/x1-x2 .... 2-1/-2-0 = -1/2 the answer is C

Answer:  \(\dfrac{-1}{2}\) or -1 over 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

\(m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\)

From the given graph , the line is passing from points (-2,2) and (0,1).

Now, the of a line passing through points (-2,2) and (0,1) is given by :-

\(m=\dfrac{1-2}{0-(-2)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{-1}{2}\)

Hence, the slope of the line = \(\dfrac{-1}{2}\)
