Question

Please help i don’t understand

Answer 1

to get the slope of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two in the picture below.

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}} \implies \cfrac{ -4 }{ 4 } \implies \text{\LARGE - 1}`
