Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following pairs of points (2,4) (0,8)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

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

    = (8-4)/(0-2)

    = 4/-2

    = -2

Answer 2

Hi!

Answer:

-2

*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

↓

$Slope=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{8-4}{0-2}=\frac{4}{-2}=\frac{4/2}{-2/2}=\frac{2}{-1}=-2$

The slope is -2.

-2 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)
