Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (4,8) and (26,2)​

Answer 1

`-(3)/(11)`

Explanation:

`m=(rise)/(run)=(2-8)/(26-4)=(-6)/(22)=-(6)/(22)=\boxed{-(3)/(11)}`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

`m=-(3)/(11)`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(4,\:8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(26,\:2\right)\\\\m=(2-8)/(26-4)\\\\m = (-6)/(22)\\ \\Simplify\\\\m=-(3)/(11)`
