Question

Find the slope of the line (2, -10), (8, -16)

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider the given points.

(0,−4) and (8,0)

Mid-point =(

2

0+8

,

2

−4+0

)

=(4,−2)

So, the slope of the line which is passes through the origin and the above mid-point will be

=

4−0

−2−0

=

4

−2

=−

2

1

Hence, this is the answer.
