i don't understand how to do this (-4,8),(6,6)
nevermind
i figured it out my teacher gave me the equation
now i don't understand i thought i did im srry everyone but really i don't understand it
slope is change in y divided by change in x.
Pick one point as point 1 P1.
slope=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
Lets pick the second point as P1, it really in the end wont matter.
slope=(6-8)/(6-(-4))=-2/10=-1/5
To understand how to solve this problem, we need to determine what the question is asking for. In this case, it seems like you are given two points, (-4, 8) and (6, 6), and need to find a solution or answer related to these points.
One possible interpretation is that you need to find the slope or gradient of the line passing through these two points. The slope is a measure of how steep the line is.
To calculate the slope, you can use the following formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
In this case, we can assign (-4, 8) as our initial point, which means it will be our (x1, y1) coordinates. Similarly, (6, 6) will be our final point or (x2, y2) coordinates. By plugging these values into the formula, we can find the slope:
slope = (6 - 8) / (6 - (-4))
= -2 / 10
= -1/5
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 8) and (6, 6) is -1/5.
Remember, slope is defined as the ratio of vertical change (change in y-coordinates) to horizontal change (change in x-coordinates) as we move from one point to another.
