Question

PLEASE HELP....explain your answer, thank you so much! I will mark brainlyest!

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

Let’s make x1 and y1 (6,8)

Let’s make x2 and y2 (2,1)

1-8/2-6

-7/-4

Both are negative numbers, which cancel each other out, making the fraction a positive number.

7/4

A. Would be your answer

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

A.  7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope when we have 2 points, we use the formula

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

where  (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points

m = (1-8)/(2-6)

  =  -7/-4

 =7/4
