Find the slope of a line that passes through (6,8) and (1,18)

m(the slope) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to use the slope formula. This can be written as (Y[subscript2]-Y[subscript1])/(X[subscript2]-X[subscript1]). This may seem a bit confusing but I hope it will make sense to you. The subscripts basically mean which Y value or X value you are taking. In this case, you could rewrite the equation as this: (18-8)/(1-6). The 18 is the Y value of the second point, so it is Y[subscript2]. Now all you need to do is simplify the equation.

(18-8)/(1-6)

10/-5

(-1)10/5

(-1)2

-2

if this is really you s much. i only have 3 points left and i have 2 questions to ask
