Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the two points.ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES.

Answer 1

The slope of a line is given by the following formula:

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

Where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the given points. Replace the given values and solve for m:

`m=(8-(-4))/(-6-0)=(8+4)/(-6)=(12)/(-6)=-2`

The slope of the line that contains the two given points is -2.
