What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,6) and (4,-2)?
You can calculate slope by using the following equation: m=\(\frac{ y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x{1}}\)
m being the slope
So applying this to your problem, you would just divide -8 by 6, which gives you -1.33 as your slope.
Hello!
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope: \(\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}\)
\(\frac{(-2)-6=-8}{4-(-2)=4+2=6}=\frac{-8}{6}=\frac{-8/2}{6/2}=\frac{-4}{3}=\frac{-4/2=-2}{3}=-\frac{2}{3}\)
Slope is -2/3
Answer: -2/3
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
