Find the slope of the line through (6, 2) and (4, -2)
1. 0
2. 1/2
3. undefined
4. 2
I was thinking maybe 2 but i dont want to be wrong thats why i asked this question but so far no one is helping me ='(
plot the two points. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.
y changes from 2 to -2
x changes from 6 to 4
so, the slope is
(-2-2)/(4-6) = -4/-2 = 2
To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
In this case, the points are (6, 2) and (4, -2). Let's label them as follows:
(x1, y1) = (6, 2)
(x2, y2) = (4, -2)
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
m = (-2 - 2) / (4 - 6)
m = (-4) / (-2)
m = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line through (6, 2) and (4, -2) is 2.
The correct answer is 4.
