The slope of a line is determined by the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values between two points on the line. This can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-6,2) and (-4,6), we can find the slope as follows:
Slope = (6 - 2) / (-4 - -6)
Slope = 4 / 2
Slope = 2

Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 4 comma 6 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the line given its graph.

Find the slope of the line given its graph.
The slope of a line is determined by the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values between two points on the line. This can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (0,2) and (1,-1), we can find the slope as follows:
Slope = (-1 - 2) / (1 - 0)
Slope = -3 / 1
Slope = -3
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (0,2) and (1,-1), we can find the slope as follows:
Slope = (-1 - 2) / (1 - 0)
Slope = -3 / 1
Slope = -3
Um its wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct that.
Given the two points (0,2) and (1,-1) to calculate the slope, we use:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (-1 - 2) / (1 - 0)
Slope = (-3) / 1
Slope = -3
You are correct. The slope of the line is -3. I apologize for the initial confusion.
