Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope(m) is given by:

$m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}$

or

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$           .....[1]

Given the statement:

$y_2 = -4$

$y_1 = 2$

$x_2 = 0$ and $x_1 = 2$

Substitute these given values in [1] we have;

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

Simplify:

m = 3

Therefore, the value of slope is, 3

Answer 2

Answer: The value of m is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y1=2,

y2=-4

x1=2,

x2=0

Formula of slope m=Δy/Δx

i.e. m=$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Putting the values in the formula

m=$\frac{-4-2}{0-2}$

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

m=3

∵Therefore the value of m is 3
