Answer:

m=-9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points

we are given the two points (2,10) and (10,-8)

to avoid any confusion, let's label the values of the points

x1=2

y1=10

x2=10

y2=-8

now substitute into the formula:

m=(-8-10)/(10-2)

subtract

m=(-18)/(8)

simplify (reduce to lowest terms)

<u>m=-9/4 </u>

Hope this helps!

The slope formula is the changes of two y-values over/to the changes of two x-values.

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

Substitute two given points in the formula to find the slope. The m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

\large{m =  \frac{10 - ( - 8)}{2 - 10} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{10 + 8}{ - 8} } \\  \large{ m =  \frac{18} { - 8} \longrightarrow  \frac{9}{ - 4} } \\  \large \boxed{m =  -  \frac{9}{4} }

Answer

  • The slope is -9/4.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!
