Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points (show work) E(4, 1 2/3) and F(-2, 2/3)

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ (change in y / change in x)

1. Substitute in the values

(x1, y1) = (4, 1$\frac{2}{3}$)

(x2, y2) = (-2, $\frac{2}{3}$)

($\frac{2}{3}$ - 1$\frac{2}{3}$) / (-2 - 4)

2. Solve

$\frac{2}{3}$ - 1$\frac{2}{3}$ = -1

-2 - 4 = -6

slope = $\frac{-1}{-6}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
