Question 1 (3 points)

Error Analysis: Describe the error in the way the calculation of the slope of the two
points is set up and/or solved. Please be specific. Do not just state what the slope
should be. Describe the error. (3 points)
Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 6) and (0,4).​

Answer 1

A) The slope of a line is basically the steepness of it or it can be defined as the change in y for a unit change in x along the line.

B) -1

Explanation:

The point here are ( -2,6 ) and ( 0,4 ).

Here
`x_1=-2`,
`y_1=6`

And
`x_2= 0`,
`y_2=4`

`m=(4-6)/(0-(2)) =-1`
