Idk what to do with this one @butterflydreamer

hmm...
So you would have points (1, -2 ) and (2, -6) 
Nooww do what we did before :)
FInd gradient and then sub it into the formula :D!

Ok lemme try this looks way more confusing

butterflydreamer · Answer

yeah they gave you a table but that just means when x = 1, y=-2 so basically they are just points but they wanted to make your life hard xD
Okey dokey!

Ok lol

:o I'm trying but idk where to start

butterflydreamer · Answer

it's literally the same as the previous question xD 
Okay so you have points (1, -2 ) and (2, -6)
Find the gradient :) 
m = -6-(-2)/ 2-1

Ok so now I'm with 12

twizttiez · Answer

So 12 would be my slope right?
