Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (2, 6) and (-1, -6)?

Answer 1

slope is given by this simple expression (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)....just plug in values and find the slope

Answer 2

idk how

Answer 3

ok..consider point(2,6) as (x1,y1) and point(-1,-6) as (x2,y2)....so now x1=2,y1=6,x2=-1,y2=-6.....now can u find slope using above expression??

Answer 4

do i add or somethin??

Answer 5

subtract.....y2-y1 means first u subtract 6 from -6...x2-x1 means subtract 2 from -1 ,then divide 2nd answer by 1st answer

Answer 6

okayyy thanks

Answer 7

still need help!!!!!

Answer 8

\[Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

\[y_2 = -6, y_1 = 6, x_2 = -1 , x_1 = 2\]

Plug in the values and find the slope.

Answer 9

i don't know how.

Answer 10

How ???
You have all the values you are just to place each values for respective y1 y2 x1 and x2..
