Question

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

Answer 1

A. 2
B. -3
C. 4
D. -2

Answer 2

Slope equals the change in y over the change in x so (2-6)/(0-2)=-4/-2 = 2

Answer 3

Remember, slope is \[(y2-y1)\(x2-x1)\]

Simply plug in your numbers,

\[ (2-6)/(0-2)\]
\[(-4)/(-2)\]
which is equal to 2.

Answer 4

2 was my answer :) I was hoping i was right! Thanks guys

Answer 5

ok this is simple. Remember the formula for slope\[m = \frac{ y _{1}-y _{2} }{ x _{1}-x _{2} }\]

Answer 6

dang you win jon you win

Answer 7

Yes! I forgot the formula at a very bad time. I was guessing 2:)

Answer 8

do you remember the point slope form of a line and the slope intercept form?
