Question

Find the slope of the line below . Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal. Use a slash mark ( / ) as the fraction bar if necessary​

Answer 1

Slope = 5

Explanation:

`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)\\m=(-6-4)/(-4-(-2))\\m=(-10)/(-2)\\m=5`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using the following formula

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

= (4- -6)/(-2 - -4)

= ( 4+6)/(-2+4)

= 10/2

= 5
