Question

what is the slope if the coordinates are (0,6) and (4,2)

Answer 1

To find the slope (m) between two points, you can use the formula:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Here, the points given are \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 6)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (4, 2)\).

Substituting the coordinates into the formula:

\[
m = \frac{2 - 6}{4 - 0} = \frac{-4}{4} = -1
\]

The slope between the points \((0, 6)\) and \((4, 2)\) is \(-1\).
