Question

Determine the slope of the line through A (-4, 8) and B (2, 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope(m) of a line by using any two points on that line is given by the equation- y2-y1/x2-x1

A(-4,8) and B(2,6)

here x1=-4,x2=2,y1=8 and y2=6

so by substituting the values of x1,x2,y1 and y2 in y2-y1/x2-x1 we get

6-8/2-(-4)

⇒-2/2+4

⇒-2/6

⇒-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

thus the slope of the line is m=-1/3
