Question

Given the points (0, 2) and (8, 4), what's the slope of the line? m = 1/4 m = -4 m = 2 m =1/2

Answer 1

m = 1/4

Explanation:

We are asked to find the slope of the line, given that it passes through (0,2) and (8,4).

Use the formula:

`\sf{m=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}`

Substitute the values

`\sf{m=\cfrac{4-2}{8-0}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{2}{8}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{1}{4}}`

Therefore, m = 1/4.

Answer 2

slope m =
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(4-2)/(8-0)` =
`(2)/(8)` =
`(1)/(4)`
