Question

A line segment has end points at (4, -6) and (0, 2) what is the slope of the given like segment

Answer 1

The slope is -2

Explanation:

-6-2/4-0=-8/4=-2

Answer 2

The slope is -2

Explanation:

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

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

= (2 - -6)/(0 -4)

= (2+6)/(0-4)

= 8/-4

= -2
