Points (3,6) and (1,-2)
Slope (m) = [tex]\frac{Change in y}{Change in x}[/tex]
Change in y = -2 - 6 = -8
Change in x = 1 - 3 = -2
Slope (m) = -8 ÷ -2 = 4
The slope of the line whose points are (3,6) and (1,-2) is equal to 4.
What is slope?
Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the vertical change to horizontal change between two points on a line. The formula of calculating slope is as under:
Slope=[tex](y_{2} -y_{1} )/(x_{2} -x_{1} )[/tex] where [tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ),(x_{2} ,y_{2} )[/tex] are the points of line. it is used in finding the equation of a line.
How to calculate slope?
We have been given two points of a line and we have to calculate the slope of line. Two points are (3,6) and (1,-2).
Slope=(-2-6)/(1-3)
=-8/-2
=4
Hence the slope of line having points (3,6),(1,-2) is 4.
