What is the slope of the line that passes through the points? 2 points given

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}$

The formula used here, is $\bf{\dfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}$.

$\rule{300}{1.7}$

$\bf{\dfrac{10-2}{4-6}}$ | subtract

$\bf{\dfrac{8}{-2}}$ | evaluate

$\bf{-4}$

$\rule{300}{1.7}$

$\bf{Result:}$

           $\bf{=Slope\;-4}$

$\boxed{\bf{aesthetic\not101}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m: Slope

(6, 2) = $(x_1, y_1)$

(4, 10) = $(x_2, y_2)$

Substitute these values into the equation:

$m=\frac{10-2}{4-6}=\frac{8}{-2}=-4$

Therefore the slope is -4.
