Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 4 comma 6 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the line given its graph.

The slope of a line is determined by the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values between two points on the line. This can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-6,2) and (-4,6), we can find the slope as follows:
Slope = (6 - 2) / (-4 - -6)
Slope = 4 / 2
Slope = 2

The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.

Um its wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct that.
Given the two points (0,2) and (1,-1) to calculate the slope, we use:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (-1 - 2) / (1 - 0)
Slope = (-3) / 1
Slope = -3
You are correct. The slope of the line is -3. I apologize for the initial confusion.
Thanks
You're welcome! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Happy studying!

Slope = -3 / 1
Slope = -3
