Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (4,8) and (26,2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=-\frac{3}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(4,\:8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(26,\:2\right)\\\\m=\frac{2-8}{26-4}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{22}\\ \\Simplify\\\\m=-\frac{3}{11}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{2-8}{26-4}=\frac{-6}{22}=-\frac{6}{22}=\boxed{-\frac{3}{11}}$

Hope this helps.
