Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (1,-4) (2,2)

Answer 1

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Slope formula when two points are given= y2-y1/x2-x1

Here y2= 2

X2=2

Y1= -4

X1= -1

= 2-(-4)/2-(-1)= 2

Slope of line= 2

Thank you.

Answer 2

`\huge \boxed{\mathrm{B. \ 2}}`

Explanation:

The line crosses two points.

The two points are (-1, -4) and (2, 2).

The slope of a line can be found through two points.

`\displaystyle \sf slope = (rise)/(run)`

`\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`y_2=2 \\ y_1 = -4 \\ x_2=2 \\ x_1=-1`

Plug in the values and evaluate.

`\displaystyle m=(2-(-4))/(2-(-1))`

`\displaystyle m=(2+4)/(2+1)`

`\displaystyle m=(6)/(3)`

`m=2`

The slope of the line is 2.
