Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,8) and (2,12) In the simplest form

Answer 1

m=−2

Explanation:

Let's find the slope between your two points.

(4,8);(2,12)

(x1,y1)=(4,8)

(x2,y2)=(2,12)

Use the slope formula:

m=

y2−y1

x2−x1

=

12−8

2−4

=

4

−2

=−2
