Question

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

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Explanation:

Lesson: Slope/ and slope-intercept form

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

`(2-8)/(2-4)=(-6)/(-2)=3`

Slope is 3

Final answer is 3

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

C) 3

Explanation:

Slope =
`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (Rise)/(Run)`

Given: (2, 2) ; (4, 8)

Here x1 = 2, y1 = 2, x2 = 4 and y2 = 8

Now plug in these values in the slope formula, we get

Slope (m) =
`(8 - 2)/(4 - 2)`

=6/2

Dividing by 2, we get

slope (m) = 3.
