Question

What is the slope of (20,62) and (40,52)

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is -1/2.

Explanation:

-To figure out the slope, you first need the slope formula:

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

-Set the two points to the equation:

`m=(52-62)/(40-20)`

- Then you solve to get the slope:

`m=(52-62)/(40-20) = -(1)/(2)`

-Result:

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