Question

what is the slope of the line that goes through (8 8) and (4 6)

Answer 1

8-6/8-4
 2/4
 slope is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line is:

                   $Slope=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a line passing through two points:

(a,b) and (c,d) is calculated as the ratio of the change in the y-value of the two points to the change in the x-values of the two points in the same order.

It is also know as the average rate of change and is denoted by "m"

i.e.

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\ or\ m=\dfrac{b-d}{a-c}$

Here the line pass through (8,8) and (4,6)

Hence, the slope of line is:

$m=\dfrac{6-8}{4-8}\\\\i.e.\\\\m=\dfrac{-2}{-4}\\\\i.e.\\\\m=\dfrac{2}{4}\\\\i.e.\\\\m=\dfrac{1}{2}$
