Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 6) and (8, 3)?​

Answer 1

`-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the change in the line, it is also called;
`(rise)/(run)`. The equation to find the slope of a line is;

`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Substitute in the given points;

( 2, 6 ) and ( 8, 3 )

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

Simplify,

`(-3)/(6)`

`-(1)/(2)`
