Question

Based on the table of values below, find the slope between points where x = 2 and where x = 6.


x y
2 12
4 10
6 4

-3
-2
-1
-1/2

Answer 1

i think its -1

Answer 2

@iGreen.

Answer 3

Slope formula.

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(m = \dfrac{4-12}{6-2}\)

Subtract & Divide

Answer 4

-1 is incorrect.

Answer 5

(12-4)/(2-6)

Answer 6

why subtract 4 - 12 ?

Answer 7

(2, 12)
(6, 4)

y2 = 4
y1 = 12

So we subtract 4 - 12

Answer 8

slope formula
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=(12-4)/(2-6)=

Answer 9

Actually it's y2-y1/x2-x1, but it doesn't really matter..

Answer 10

OHHH so the answer is -2

Answer 11

Thanks

Answer 12

right ? @iGreen.

Answer 13

Yep, you got it.
