Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the following g points
(6,3) and (4,-2)

Answer 1

2.5

Explanation:

The slope of the line is;
`(rise)/(run)` and can be found using the formula;

`(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Given the points;

( 6, 3 ) and ( 4, -2)

Substitute the points in and solve;

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

`(-5)/(-2)\\\\(5)/(2)\\\\= 2.5`
