Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through points (9,8) and (4,-2).

Answer 1

You can find the slope of the two points with the following formula:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation.

`m=(-2-8)/(4-9)`

`m=(-10)/(-5)`

`m=2`

The slope of the line is 2.
