Question

what is the slope of the line through (-2,-6) and (2,2)?

chose 1 answer
a: -1/2
b: 1/2
c: 2
d: -2

Answer 1

Answer:

b=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line is given by

tan ∅ or $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

here,

x1 = -2

y1 = -6

x2 = 2

y2 = 2

therefore, slope = $\frac{2-(-2)}{(2-(-6))}$

= 4/8 = 1/2
