Question

What is the slope for (3, 8) and (2, 6). ?

Answer 1

m = 2

Explanation:

`m = (rise)/(run) =(y_(2)-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`=(6 - 8)/(2 - 3) \\= (-2)/(-1)\\ = 2`

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{The formula for finding the slope:}`

`\mathbf{(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = slope}`

`\huge\textbf{Some people understand formula like:}`

`\mathbf{(rise)/(run) = slope}`

`\huge\textbf{Breaking down the question:}`

`\mathbf{y_2 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{6}}}`

`\mathbf{y_1 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{8}}}`

`\mathbf{x_2 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{2}}}`

`\mathbf{x_1 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{3}}}`

`\huge\textbf{What your equation should look like:}`

`\mathbf{(6 - 8)/(2 - 3) = slope}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify the equation we came up with:}`

`\mathbf{(6 - 8)/(2 - 3) = slope}`

`\mathbf{\rightarrow (-2)/(-1) = slope}`

`\mathbf{\rightarrow -2 / -1 = slope}`

`\mathbf{\rightarrow 2 = slope}`

`\huge\textbf{Thus, the answer should most likely be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{Slope \rightarrow \boxed{\textsf{2}}}}}\huge\checkmark`
