Question

Find the slope of (4,0) and (2,-4)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{Hello\;there!}`

We are given two points: (4,0) and (2,-4)

We can use these two points to find the slope:

`\huge\displaystyle{(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) }`

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

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

Answer 2

Let the two coordinates of the points are A(4,0) and B(2,-4) respectively. We have given to find out the slope (m) = ? The standard formula for calculating slope is given by,

`\implies\rm{ (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) }`

Here we have,

• x1 = 4 and y1 = 0

• x2 = 2 and y2 = -4

Placing values in formula we get,

`\implies\rm{ ( - 4 - 0)/( 2 - 4) }`

`\implies\rm{ ( - 4)/( - 2) }`

`\implies\rm{2}`

The slope is 2.
