Candice plotted the points (2, 15) and (0, -1) and then drew a line through these two points. What is the slope of the line she drew?

Respuesta :

Use the slope equation: [tex] \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} [/tex]

Plug in the points (2, 15) and (0, -1).
[tex] \frac{-1-15}{0-2} [/tex] ⇒ [tex] \frac{-16}{-2} [/tex] = 8

The slope of the line is 8.
