Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (4, 2) and (6, -2)?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

Find the slope using a formula.

m = rise/run

m = (-2 - 2)/(6 - 4)

m = -4/2

m = -2

Answer 2

m = -2

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Simply plug in your coordinates:

m = (-2 - 2)/(6 - 4)

m = -4/2

m = -2
