What is the slope of the line ?

Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points ( 2, 0 ) and ( 8, 42 )?

Answer 1

Jannettes answer is incorrect becuase she used the incorect formula to find slope the formule is y2-y1/x2-x1 making the slope and the asnwer to tge question 7

2= x1

0=y1

8=x2

42=y2

Answer 2

x1 - x2

over

y1 - y2

2: x1

8: x2

--------

0: y1

42: y2

2 - 8

-------

0 - 42

The answer is -6 over -42. Which you can simplify to 1 over 7.

Answer 3

change in y over change in x

(42-0)/(8-2)

42/6

slope =7
