Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (1, -2) and (-1, 6)?

Answer 1

The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.

Answer 2

ohh yea lol thanks i remember now how to do it

Answer 3

good! so can you tell me what slope you got ? so that i can verify it..

Answer 4

4

Answer 5

+4 or -4 ??

Answer 6

+4

Answer 7

recheck please.
the numerator = -2-6 = -8
the denominator = 1-(-1) = 2
so, m= .... ?

Answer 8

i know what i did its -4 my bad:(

Answer 9

yes, m=-4 is correct :)
