Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points, (-4, 10) and (0, 2), the error in the given problem is the incorrect substitution of values into the formula. It should have been formatted as follows:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 10)

    (x₂, y₂) = (0, 2)

The formula for solving for the slope of the line is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

where m represents the slope of the line.

Substitute the given values into the formula to solve for the slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

$m = \frac{2 - 10}{0 - (-4)}$

$m = \frac{-8}{0 + 4 }$

m = -8/4

m = -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2.
