Question

Find the slope determined by the following pair of points (0,8), (2, 4)​

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

We use the slope formula,
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, and substitute the points (0,8) and (2,4). This gives

`(4-8)/(2-0)=(-4)/(2)=-2`

as the slope.

Answer 2

Hello.

Since we have two points, and we are asked to find the slope of the line, let's use the slope formula:

`\mathrm{m=\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}`

Where

m is the slope

y2 is the y-coordinate of the second point

y1 is the y-coordinate of the first point

x2 is the x-coordinate of the second point

x1 is the x-coordinate of the first point

In this case, m is unknown, y2 = 4, y1 = 8, x2=2, x1=0

Plug in the values:

`\displaystyle(4-8)/(2-0)`

`\displaystyle(-4)/(2) =-2`

Therefore, the slope is -2.

I hope it helps!

Have a nice day!
