Question

Find the slope between the two points (4,2) and (3,8)?​

Answer 1

Answer: First, you need to graph these two points.

Explanation:

To find a slope, you need two points. Then you have to use the formula rise/run (which you just count up and over like your rising and running)

If when your counting up and over and it goes to the left, your slope will be negative. If it goes to the right, then it will be positive.

Slope: (-6,1)

Answer 2

-6

Explanation:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (8 - 2)/(3-4)

= 6/-1

= -6

Hence the slope (or gradient) m is -6
