Question

Compute the slope of the line below​

Answer 1

Answer: 5/8

Explanation:

You can find the slope by using the slope formula which is

Y2-Y1 over

X1-X2

Use the points given by the graph.

2,1

-6,-4

-4-1

-6-2 = 5/8

The slope for the graph is 5/8x

Answer 2

5/8

Explanation:

Let

(x1 ,y1) = (2,1)

(x2, y2) = ( -6 , - 4)

Slope (m)

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

= ( - 4 - 1 ) / ( - 6 - 2 )

= - 5 / - 8

= 5 / 8
