Question

Find and interpret the slope of the line ca
(10,4) and (2,44)

Answer 1

Answer: -5

Explanation:

Slope can be found with change in y over change in x.

`\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

Let (10, 4) be point 1 and (2, 44) be point 2.

`\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

`\displaystyle (44-4)/(2-10)`

`\displaystyle (40)/(-8)`

`\displaystyle (40)/(-8)`

-5
