Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points

Answer 1

Answer: m =2

Explanation:

rise over run = 6/3 = 2

Answer 2

Formula to find out slop, we have to calculate the change in the y values over the change in the x values. That is -

`\small \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ \pmb{ Slop = (y_2-y_1 )/(x_2-x_1 )}}}}\\`

As per question, points are -

• A(2,2)

• B(-1,-4)

On substituting the values -

`\: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \longrightarrow \sf {Slop = (-4-2)/(-1-2)}\\`

`\: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \longrightarrow \sf {Slop = (-6)/(-3)}\\`

`\: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \longrightarrow \sf {Slop = \cancel{(-6)/(-3)}}\\`

`\: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \longrightarrow \boxed{ \tt{ \pmb{ \red{Slope = 2}}}}\\`

`\\ \therefore \underline{ \cal{ \pmb{The \:Answer \: is \: \frak{\purple{ 2 }. }}}}\\`
