what is the slope of the line through these to points (2,2),(-8,-18)

Question

What is the slope of the line through these to points .

Answer 1

Stephanie,

 

The formula for slope when given two points is m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)  [Remember Rise over Run]

 

For this problem, m=(-18-2)/(-8-2)... m=-20/-10.... m=2
