Question

Find the slope of a line that has an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 6.
Halp?

Answer 1

Did you try to make a plot of those points on graph or whatever ?

Answer 2

Yeah I did and it didnt make sense to me

Answer 3

for x-intercept of -2 >> (-2, 0)
y-intercept of 6 >> (0, 6)

Answer 4

I think you can find the slope now, isn't it?

Answer 5

oh yeah, I totes can find the slope now? its just x1 + x2 / 2 + y1 + y2 / 2?
right

Answer 6

\[m=\left( \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \right)\]

Answer 7

Also you can based on either (-2,0) or (0,6) as point 1 or 2, but fix them when do calculation.
