Question

Compute the slope of the line below. Enter your answer as a fraction ordecimal. Use a slash mark (/) as the fraction bar if necessary.10(2,1)- 1010(-6,-4)- 10

Answer 1

In the graph , the coordinates are given as,

`(2,1)\text{ , }(-6,-4)`

The slope of the line as ,

`m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}_{}_{}}{x_2-x_1}`
`m=(-4-1)/(-6-2)`
`m=(-5)/(-8)`
`m=(5)/(8)`

Thus, the slope of the line as,

`m=(5)/(8)`

In decimal , the slope is 0.625.
