Question

The slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-4, 8) is
-6
-1/2
-1/6

Answer 1

I think is 1/6 the answer

Answer 2

Formula for slope is:

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

In this case...

`y_(2) =8\\y_(1) =7\\x_(2) =-4\\x_(1) =2`

so...

`(8-7)/(-4-2)`

`(1)/(-6)`

`(-1)/(6)` <---------------------------the slope of the line

Hope this helped!
