- Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Point (8, 8)
Point (20, -2)
Step 2: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m
- Substitute [SF]: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-2-8}{20-8}[/tex]
- [Fraction] Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-10}{12}[/tex]
- [Fraction] Simplify: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{6}[/tex]
