Question

A line contains the points (82, −96) and (87, −86) .

What is the slope of the line in simplified form?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope = 2

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (82, - 96) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (87, - 86)

m =
`(-86+96)/(87-82)` =
`(10)/(5)` = 2
