Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-6,4) and (2,-8)

To find the slope when you know two points, you can use:

$$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

And your points are written as (x_1, y_{1) and (}x₂, y₂) 

The subscripts don't really mean anything special, their just to signify the numbers.

So, you can put this in the equation, and you get your slope:

$$slope = \frac{-8 - 4}{2 - (-6)}$$

$$slope = \frac{-8 - 4}{2 + (+6)}$$

$$slope = \frac{-12}{8}$$

$$slope = \frac{-3}{2}$$

$$slope = -\frac{3}{2}$$

What.....?

whats with this stuff?

I just asked a simple question!

this is rediculas

Seriously can someone help?

i honestly don't know
