Answer:
The slope is, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for slope(m) is given by:
[tex]m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]
or
[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] .....[1]
Given the statement:
[tex]y_2 = -4[/tex]
[tex]y_1 = 2[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = 0[/tex] and [tex]x_1 = 2[/tex]
Substitute these given values in [1] we have;
[tex]m = \frac{-4-2}{0-2} = \frac{-6}{-2}[/tex]
Simplify:
m = 3
Therefore, the value of slope is, 3
Answer: The value of m is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y1=2,
y2=-4
x1=2,
x2=0
Formula of slope m=Δy/Δx
i.e. m=[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Putting the values in the formula
m=[tex]\frac{-4-2}{0-2}[/tex]
m=[tex]\frac{-6}{-2}[/tex]
m=3
∵Therefore the value of m is 3
