Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,2) and (6,6)

Please help

Answer 1

M=2/5

Explanation:

the formula to find the slope is

m= y-y/x-x.

then you have to use the given number

(x,y), (x,y)=

m=2-6/-4-6

m=-4/-10

m=-2/-5

-×- is equal to positive so the answer is

m=2/5

Answer 2

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{2}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}}\implies \cfrac{4}{6+4}\implies \cfrac{4}{10}\implies \cfrac{2}{5}`
