Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (4,8) (2,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{Rise}{Run}$

Given: (2, 2) ; (4, 8)

Here x1 = 2, y1 = 2, x2 = 4 and y2 = 8

Now plug in these values in the slope formula, we get

Slope (m) = $\frac{8 - 2}{4 - 2}$

=6/2

Dividing by 2, we get

slope (m) = 3.

Answer 2

Hi there! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Slope/ and slope-intercept form

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

$\frac{2-8}{2-4}=\frac{-6}{-2}=3$

Slope is 3

Final answer is 3

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
