Question

Find the slope between each pair of points

(-2, 4) and (10, -2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the slope between two points, we need to find the difference between y-coordinates of the points and x-coordinates of the points.

m= ( y2-y1 )/( x2-x1 )

(x1= -2, y1= 4) and (x2= 10, y2= -2)

m= (-2-4 ) /( 10- -2 )

m= -6/ 12

m = -1/6

Answer 2

slope = (y2-y1) =( -2 -4 ) = -6

(X2-X1)= (10- -2) = 12 Slope = -6/12

Explanation:

in each set of numbers is (x,y)

when you have two sets of numbers

select one set of numbers to be (x1,y1) other (x2,y2)
