Question

Find the slope of the line that contains
the points (6, 8) and (2, 1).

Answer 1

Answer:7/4

Explanation:

(6,8) (2,1)

x0=6

y0=8

x=2

y=1

slope=(y-y0)/(x-x0)

Slope=(1-8)/(2-6)

Slope=-7/-4

Slope=7/4

Answer 2

7/4 or 1.75

Explanation:

Assuming this is a linear function, you can use the slope formula of change in y-values divided by change in x-values. Take your y-values (8 - 1), which is seven. Then take your x-values (6-2), which is equal to 4. Then your slope is just 7/4 or 1.75.
