Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (86, 78) and (90,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

• - 20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points on the line:

• (86, 78) and (90,-4)

Use the slope equation:

• m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
• m = (-4 - 78)/(90 - 86) = - 82/4 = - 20.5

Answer 2

• (86,78)
• (90,-4)

Slope:-

$\sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{-4-78}{90-86}$

$\sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{-82}{4}$

$\sf\longmapsto m=-41/2$

$\sf\longmapsto m=20.5$
