Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through
the points (-2,2), (6,-10).

Answer 1

-12/8 or -1.5

Explanation:

The slope is -12/8 or -1.5

To find the slope you use your formula y2-y1 over x2-x1 or you could do rise over run but I prefer using the formula

(-2, 2)

(6, -10)

-10-2 over 6-(-2)

-10-2= -12

6-(-2)=8

-12/8 or -1.5
