Question

Compute the slope of the line below. Enter your answer as a fraction ordecimal. Use a slash mark (/) as the fraction bar if necessary.10(2,1)- 1010(-6,-4)- 10

Answer 1

In the graph , the coordinates are given as,

$(2,1)\text{ , }(-6,-4)$

The slope of the line as ,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}_{}_{}}{x_2-x_1}$$m=\frac{-4-1}{-6-2}$$m=\frac{-5}{-8}$$m=\frac{5}{8}$

Thus, the slope of the line as,

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

In decimal , the slope is 0.625.
