Question

Find the slope of the line. y 8 (10,6) 6 4 2 (4, 1.2) 4 6 8 10 x slope =​

Answer 1

The slope is 0.8

Explanation:

Given

`(x_1,y_1) = (10,6)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (4,1.2)`

Required

The slope (m)

The slope (m) is calculated using:

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

This gives:

`m = (1.2 - 6)/(4 - 10)`

`m = (-4.8)/(-6)`

`m = 0.8`
