Question

Find the slope of the line that connects the points (6, -2) and ( 10, 4)

Answer 1

im still in 7th grade but..

Answer:

2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

im going to choose (10,4) as x2,y2 and (6,-2) as x1,y1

so the fraction will look like this: $\frac{4+6}{10-6}$

now we have to slove it, 4+6 = 10

and 10-6 = 4

we have the fraction 10/4

now simplify: 2 1/2

hopefully i got this correct

Answer 2

Slope: 1.5

Work: I used the slope formula method which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. After plugging it in, the new equation is 4 - (-2) / 10 - 6. After subtraction, I had gotten 6/4. And when you divide 6/4, you get 1.5

I hope this helps. :)
