Answer:
I believe there is something wrong with ur question.
Answer:
M = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, look at a graph of a line and find two points, 1 and 2. You can use any two points on a line. The slope will be the same between any two points on a straight line.
Note the X and Y value for each of the points.
Now we'll designate the X and Y value for points 1 and 2. We'll use subscripts to identify them in the slope formula.
Hope this helps!

Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
x = elevation in feet
y = temperature in fahrenheit
The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.
The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.
We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60
Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation
y = 0.001x+60
y = 0.001*2000+60
y = 2+60
y = 62
subtract 14 from 22 to isolate the variable
