Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-2, 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

8 - -4 / -2 - 0

12 / -2

-6

Answer 2

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x₁ = 0

x₂ = -2

y₁ = -4

y₂ = 8

Slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

m = (8 - (-4)) ÷ (-2 - 0)

m = (8 + 4) ÷ (-2)

m = 12 ÷ (-2)

m = -6

Hope this answer helps you.
