What is the slope of the line which passes through (2, 6) and (0, 2)? 2 –3 4 –2

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The slope m is found from the following: \[m=\frac{y-y _{1}}{x-x _{1}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright after i plug them in what else?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Then just do the arithmetic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kropot72 how do you do that???

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[y=6\] \[y _{1}=2\] \[x=2\] \[x _{1}=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 is not an answer

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Did you plug the values into the equation for m. If you did, then you will get one of the choices.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Simply plug the values into the equation then solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 is what i came up with

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[m=\frac{6-2}{2-0}=What\ do\ you\ get?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 on the top& 2 on the bottom

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[m=\frac{4}{2}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The slope is 2.
