To find the slope (m) using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (10, 2) and (x2, y2) = (8, 6).
Substituting the values into the formula:
m = (6 - 2) / (8 - 10)
m = 4 / (-2)
Simplifying the fraction:
m = -2
Thus, the slope is -2.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (10, 2) and (x2, y2) = (8, 6).
Substituting the values into the formula:
m = (6 - 2) / (8 - 10)
m = 4 / (-2)
Simplifying the fraction:
m = -2
Thus, the slope is -2.
