Question

What is the slope of the line that connects the points (-2,6) and (4,0) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m:

$m=\frac{0-6}{4-(-2)}$

$m=\frac{-6}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{-6}{6}$

$m=-1$
