Question

Determine the slope of the line based on the information given.

Answer 1

Slope=6

Explanation:

Given a line that passes through the point (0,-4) and (1, 2), we are required to find the slope.

Whenever we are given two points on a line, we can find the slope of such a line by using the formula below:

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

First, label the points.

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,-4) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(1,2) \end{gathered}`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`m=(2-(-4))/(1-0)=(2+4)/(1)=6`

The slope of the line is 6.
