Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through (2,6) and (4,5)

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

You find the change in the y coordinates. 6 -> 5 is -1. Now the same for the x. 2 -> 4 is +2. now place them in a fraction with the y/x -1/2. if both were negative then you would just cancel out the negatives.
