Question

A line goes through points (1, 8) and (5, 6). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

-2/4

Explanation:

You label the first coordinate points as X(1) and Y(1) and the second coordinate points as X(2) and Y(2) and then apply the formula

Answer 2

-0.5

Explanation:

`(6 - 8)/(5 - 1?) = - 0.5`

slope=

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`
