Question

If provided with the following 2 points, then what is the slope?
(3, -6) and (5,-2)

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Slope: (-2 - -6)/(5 - 3)

= (-2 + 6)/2

= 4/2

= 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

If we are given two points, we can find the slope by using

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

= (-2- -6) /( 5-3)

= (-2+6)/ (5-3)

= 4/2

= 2
