Question

imstuck · Answer

where's the line?

anonymous · Answer

well,you can find it by this formula :

$ \Large slope = \frac{ y2 - y1 }{ x2 - x1 } $

anonymous · Answer

and y2 and x2 is the point 2 (x2,y2) and the point 1 = (x1,y1)

anonymous · Answer

well now u have (4,8) and (2,2)
can u find it?

anonymous · Answer

remember rise/run

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused how to do this I'm not good at this stuff

anonymous · Answer

did you graph it first

anonymous · Answer

well,i gave u the formula and for finding the slope u need to have 2 points at least...

anonymous · Answer

graph the giving points (4,8) and (2,2) the find the slope

anonymous · Answer

and now u have these two points:
(4,8)
(2,2)

anonymous · Answer

so if we consider (4,8) point 1 then (2,2) is point 2 so y1 = 8 , y2 = 2 , x1 = 4 and x2 = 2

anonymous · Answer

and u can simply substitute them

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 8-2 }{ 4-2} =\frac{ ? }{ ? } = ?$$

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand now?

anonymous · Answer

and now it's essencial for you to know that we can use y2-y1/x2-x1 or y1-y2/x1-x2 and there's no difference between them ;)
