Question

Find the slope of the line joining of (4,2), (8,4) (with steps)​

Answer 1

the slope is 1/2!

Explanation:

(2-4)/(4-8) = -2/-4 = 1/2

When finding the slope of a line you need to do the rise over run!

Answer 2

slope: 1/2

Explanation:

Finding the slope:

(8,4) (4,2)

(x1, y1) (x2, y2)

Subtract the x values and subtract the y values. (x1 - x-2) and (y1 - y2)

8 - 4 = 4

4 - 2 = 2

The slope is written as rise over run or y over x.

So, 2/4

Simplify: 1/2
