Question

Find the slope of the through each pair of point (-10,4), (-2,6)

Answer 1

`-(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is
`m=(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`.

Here,
`x_(1)` is -10,
`x_(2)` is -2,
`y_(1)` is 4, and
`y_(2)` is 6.

`m=(6-4)/(-2+10)`

`m=(2)/(-8)`

`m=-(1)/(4)`

The slope is
`-(1)/(4)`.

Answer 2

1/4

Explanation:

slope=y2-y1/x2-x1

x1= -10

y1 = 4

x2 = -2

y2 = 6

putting values in formula

6-4/-2-(-10)

2/10-2

2/8

1/4
