Question

Find thy slope of the line passing through the given point (2,0),(-6,8)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 8)

m = $\frac{8-0}{-6-2}$ = $\frac{8}{-8}$ = - 1
