Question

graph the line containing the given pair of points and find the slope.

(4,0) (-2,-5)

How do I find the slope?

Answer 1

m=(y1-y)/(x1-x)=(0-(-5))/(4-(-2))

Answer 2

m=5/6

Answer 3

This might make the formula a little easier to understand. Basically you're measuring the "rise" and dividing that by the "run". (see pic)

Answer 4

OOOOHHHHH well that makes it very easy lol thanks you two!!!
