Question

ANSWER QUICKLY WILL MARK BRAIN!

What is the slope of the linear function that passes through the points (–2, –8) and (1, –2)?

Answer 1

The slope of the linear function would be 2.

Explanation:

We are given the points

(–2, –8) and (1, –2)

Our formula would be:

m = rise / run =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

So, plug in these values to the slope formula to find the slope

=
`(-2 - (-8))/(1-(-2))`

=
`(6)/(3)`

= 2

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

2

Work:

-8 - (-2)/-2 - 1 = -6/-3 = 2
