Let's find the slope :

taking :

  • y_2 = 6

  • y_1 = 8

  • x_2 = 4

  • x_1 =  - 2

now, we know the formula to find the slope, that is :

  • \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1 }

  • \dfrac{6 - 8}{4 - ( - 2)}

  • \dfrac{ - 2}{ 6}

  • - \dfrac{ 1}{3}

Answer:

\boxed {-\frac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed {\sf{Slope}=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:8\right)

\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:6\right)

__________________

\sf slope \:(m)=\cfrac{6-8}{4-\left(-2\right)}

\boxed {\sf Subtract \:the \:numbers:-}

\sf Slope\:(m)=-\cfrac{1}{3}

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the third number, then x−1 and x−2 are the second and first numbers.

10(x−2) + 10(x−1) = 10 + 10x

x − 2 + x − 1 = 1 + x

2x − 3 = 1 + x

x = 4
