Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When it's clear, the easiest way to do the problem is to used the x and y intercepts.
This question is one of the clear one.
The x intercept is 2,0
The y intercept is 0,1
You want the slope.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = 1
y1 = 0
x2 = 0
x1 = 2
m = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2)
m = 1 / -2
m = -1/2
In this case the slope and gradient have the same value -- - 1/2 or - 0.5
