Answer:

a y=-2x+8

Explanation:

home / math / slope calculator

Slope Calculator

By definition, the slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade.

Where

m — slope

θ — angle of incline

If the 2 Points are Known

Result

Slope (m) =

ΔY

ΔX

=

-2

1

= -2

θ =

arctan( ΔY ) + 360°

ΔX

= 296.56505117708°

ΔX = 6 – 0 = 6

ΔY = -4 – 8 = -12

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √180 = 13.416407864999

Equation of the line:

y = -2x + 8

When x=0, y = 8

When y=0, x = 4
