Question

What is the slope for (3, 8) and (2, 6). ?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y_{2}-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\frac{6 - 8}{2 - 3} \\= \frac{-2}{-1}\\ = 2$

Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{The formula for finding the slope:}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = slope}$

$\huge\textbf{Some people understand formula like:}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{rise}{run} = slope}$

$\huge\textbf{Breaking down the question:}$

$\mathbf{y_2 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{6}}}$

$\mathbf{y_1 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{8}}}$

$\mathbf{x_2 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{2}}}$

$\mathbf{x_1 \rightarrow \boxed{\textbf{3}}}$

$\huge\textbf{What your equation should look like:}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{6 - 8}{2 - 3} = slope}$

$\huge\textbf{Simplify the equation we came up with:}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{6 - 8}{2 - 3} = slope}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{-2}{-1} = slope}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow -2 \div -1 = slope}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow 2 = slope}$

$\huge\textbf{Thus, the answer should most likely be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{Slope \rightarrow \boxed{\textsf{2}}}}}\huge\checkmark$
