Question

what is the slope of the line shown below? (1,-4) (2,2)

Answer 1

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Slope formula when two points are given= y2-y1/x2-x1

Here y2= 2

X2=2

Y1= -4

X1= -1

= 2-(-4)/2-(-1)= 2

Slope of line= 2

Thank you.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{B. \ 2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses two points.

The two points are (-1, -4) and (2, 2).

The slope of a line can be found through two points.

$\displaystyle \sf slope = \frac{rise}{run}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$y_2=2 \\ y_1 = -4 \\ x_2=2 \\ x_1=-1$

Plug in the values and evaluate.

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2-(-4)}{2-(-1)}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2+4}{2+1}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{6}{3}$

$m=2$

The slope of the line is 2.
