Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (4, 8) (2, 4)

Answer 1

Answer: Using the formula below you will get -4/-2 which is slope of 2

Explanation:

So you would use the slope formula which is y_{2}- y_{1} / x_{2}-x_{1}

Answer 2

Slope = 2

Explanation:

Slope is the change in y/change in x. So (8-4)/4-2)=2.
