Question

Calculate the slope of the line by applying the slope formula. Use the following two points to substitute into the slope formula. Point 1 (−2, 4) and Point 2 (4, −8) Identify the x-coordinates and y-coordinates to substitute in the formula.

x 1 =

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope intercept form -   y = −2x

Slope is m = −2  

Answer 2

• P1(-2,4)
• P2(4,-8)

Slope

• m=y2-y1/x2-x1
• m=-8-4/4+2
• m=-12/6
• m=-2
