Question

Line AB contains points A (−2, 6) and B (4, 5). The slope of line AB is −6 negative 1 over 6 1 over 6 6

Answer 1

To work out the slope of a line, you have to divide the difference in y by the difference in x

The difference in y = 5-6 = -1
The difference in x = 4--2 = 6

So, -1/6 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is negative $1$ over $6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

we have

$A(-2,6)\ B(4,5)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{5-6}{4+2}$

$m=-\frac{1}{6}$
