Question

Find the slope of the line below . Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal. Use a slash mark ( / ) as the fraction bar if necessary​

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\m=\frac{-6-4}{-4-(-2)}\\m=\frac{-10}{-2}\\m=5$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using the following formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (4- -6)/(-2 - -4)

     = ( 4+6)/(-2+4)

     = 10/2

     = 5
