(6,4)and (8,-8) find the slope if it exists, of the line containg the pair of points
Mikey or Steve or Johnny -- or whatever your name is -- please don't change names when you post multiple questions. You aren't fooling us for a minute.
sorry, wont from here on out, thanks for the info, but was not trying to fool anyone.
y2-y1 / x2-x1
(-8-4)/(8-6)
-12/2
-6 is the slope.
To find the slope of the line containing the pair of points (6,4) and (8,-8), we can use the slope formula:
The slope (m) of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using this formula, we can substitute the values of the points into the formula:
x1 = 6, y1 = 4
x2 = 8, y2 = -8
m = (-8 - 4) / (8 - 6)
m = -12 / 2
m = -6
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (6,4) and (8,-8) is -6.
