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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, with the intercepts, you have points (-2, 0) and (0,6). Can you find the slope with those points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hate math and I'm lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: \[\frac{ y _{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you get the slope now? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, just plug the numbers in and simplify. y2 = 6 y1 = 0 x2 = 0 x1 = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks y'all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem. :)
