What is the slope of the line shown below? (4,8) (2,2)

Hi there! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2-8}{2-4}=\frac{-6}{-2}=3[/tex]
Slope is 3
Final answer is 3
*The answer must have a positive sign.*
I hope this helps you!
Have a nice day! :)

Answer:
C) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = [tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{Rise}{Run}[/tex]
Given: (2, 2) ; (4, 8)
Here x1 = 2, y1 = 2, x2 = 4 and y2 = 8
Now plug in these values in the slope formula, we get
Slope (m) = [tex]\frac{8 - 2}{4 - 2}[/tex]
=6/2
Dividing by 2, we get
slope (m) = 3.
