Question

What equation in slope intercept form represents the line that passes through the points (4,6) and (8,0)

Answer 1

The slope formed using points (4,6) and (8,0) is
`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given as :

The points are (4,6) and (8,0)

(
`x_1` ,
`y_1`) = (4,6)

(
`x_2` ,
`y_2`) = (8,0)

Let The slope that formed = m

So,

slope = m =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

m =
`(0 - 6)/(8 - 4)`

Or, m =
`(6)/(4)`

∴ m =
`(3)/(2)`

So, The slope formed using points = m =
`(3)/(2)`

Hence , The slope formed using points (4,6) and (8,0) is
`(3)/(2)` Answer
