Question

What is the slope of these points: (0,14) and (2,10)? Explain nicely please.

Answer 1

The slope is -2.

Explanation:

What you are looking to do is find the rise over the run.

To find the rise, simply do 14 - 10 = 4.

To find the run, simply do 0 - 2 = -2.

4 over -2 is the same thing as 4 divided by -2, which would be 2 divided by -1, which is -2.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The slope is -2

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula

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

= (10-14)/(2-0)

= -4/2

= -2

The slope is -2
