The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the one y portion of the line by one x portion of the line. In this problem we have two points which can indicate us one portion of the y axis and one portion of the x axis. If we have two points of one line, then we can calculate its slope:
Point one (x1, y1)
Point two (x2, y2)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
So lets use our data:
Point one (2, 10)
Point two (5, 8)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (8 - 10)/(5 - 2<span>)
</span>m = -2/3
therefore the slope is negative and is -2/3
Answer:
36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
= |3 – 10| - (12 / 4 + 2)^2
= 7 - (3 + 2)^2
= 7 - (5)^2
= 7 - 25
= -18
Hey there!
Graphing can be tricky, but I’m happy to help!
The slope is -2 with a Y intercept of -4.
I included my graph from the equation to give you a visual of what it will look like.
Just let me know if you need further assistance or have more questions!
