Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given points. Write the slope in in simplest form. (1,4) , (3,-6)

Answer 1

Explanation:

So when we want to find the slope, but can't look at the graph, we can use:
Y2 - Y1

_____

X2 - X1

to get our slope.

So:

-6 - 4

_____ = -10/2

3 - 1

Slope = -10/2 Rise: -10 Run: 2
