Question

Give the slope between the points (4,3) (8,5)

Answer 1

The equation to find the slope (m) is:

y1-y2
--------
x1-x2

What that means is the change in y over the change in x.

After plugging in the numbers, the equation looks like this-

3-5
-----
4-8

3-5= -2
-----------
4-8= -4

So, the slope is 2/4 because the two negatives cancel each other out.

2/4 can be simplified to 1/2.

Slope = 1/2

Answer 2

I'm not 100% sure because I did this last year but I think -4/2 it should be going the negative way- line , top left corner to bottom right cornor
