To figure out the slope between two points, we need to find the rise over run, which is the change in the <em>y value over the change in the x value</em>. This becomes:
And simplifies to:

To figure out the slope between two points, we need to find the rise over run, which is the change in the <em>y value over the change in the x value</em>. This becomes:
And simplifies to:
Answer:
y = -4x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b ( slope-intercept)
1. Find Slope:
Lets name 2 as y2 and 10 as y1. And 0 as x2 and 2 as x1.
=
= -4
m/slope = -4
2. Find y-intercept:
2 = -4(0) + b
= 2 = b
Y-intercept/b = 2
3. Put into slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
= y = -4x + 2
Hope that helps! :D
