Question

Find the slope of the line through the given points. (-2,6) and (2,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2-y1         -2-6                  -8                    simplify

x2-x1          2--2                  4                        -2

Answer 2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -2-6)/(2- -2)

   = ( -2-6)/( 2+2)

   -8/4

   -2
