Question

Find the slope of a line passing thourgh the points (6,-2) and (4,-6).

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

`Slope=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`((-6)-(-2)=-6+2)/(4-6)=(-4)/(-2)=2`

Slope is 2.

Final answer is 2.

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-6}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-6-(-2)}{4-6}\implies \cfrac{-6+2}{-2}\implies \cfrac{-4}{-2}\implies 2`
