Question

What is the slope of the line shown?

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 8) and (2, 2).

Answer 1

Slope = -3

Explanation:

Slope formula:

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

m = slope.

Substitute the point values given into the formula:

`(2)/(2) - (8)/(0) = ?`

Solve:

`(2)/(2) - (8)/(0) = ( - 6)/(2) = - 3`

The slope of your line is -3.
