Question

Find the slope of the line below . Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal. Use a slash mark ( / ) as the fraction bar if necessary​

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope m = $\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x_{1}=-6\\ y_{1}=-4\\\\x_{2}=2\\y_{2}=1$

def. of slope = rise over run

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{2}}$

so:

$\frac{1-(-4)}{2-(-6)} = \frac{1+4}{2+6} = \frac{5}{8}$

We get $\frac{5}{8}$ as our slope
