Question

Find the slope of a line going through (0, 4) and (-2, 2).

Answer 1

slope = 1

Slope-intercept form: y = 1x + 4

Explanation:

1. Plot the 2 points on a graph.
2. Count the rise and the run from point A to point B.
3. From point A, you go down 2 and to the left 2 to get to point B.
4. Meaning, the slope is -2 over -2. (-2/-2)
5. What is -2 divided by -2? Positive 1
6. From there you can use the point-slope formula and find the slope-intercept form.

Hope this helps!
