Question

Line AB contains points A (−2, 6) and B (4, 5). The slope of line AB is −6 negative 1 over 6 1 over 6 6

Answer 1

To work out the slope of a line, you have to divide the difference in y by the difference in x

The difference in y = 5-6 = -1
The difference in x = 4--2 = 6

So, -1/6 is the answer

Answer 2

The slope is negative
`1` over
`6`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

we have

`A(-2,6)\ B(4,5)`

Substitute the values

`m=(5-6)/(4+2)`

`m=-(1)/(6)`
