Question

ANSWER QUICKLY WILL MARK BRAIN!
What is the slope of the linear function that passes through the points (–2, –8) and (1, –2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Work:

-8 - (-2)/-2 - 1 = -6/-3 = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the linear function would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the points

(–2, –8) and (1, –2)

Our formula would be:

m = rise / run = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

So, plug in these values to the slope formula to find the slope

= $\frac{-2 - (-8)}{1-(-2)}$

= $\frac{6}{3}$

= 2
