y2 = 14
y1 = 2
Solution
m = (14 - 2) / (8 - 2)
m = 4 / 4 = 1
Remark
Why is the slope one? I should be 2 shouldn't it? No because there is a common factor to be taken out -- the common factor is 2Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 2
x y
2 2
4 6
6 10
8 14
I will use Desmos to get the line.
The slope should be 2
Formula
Slope (m) = ( (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) )
Givens
x2 = 8
x1 = 4
y2 = 14
y1 = 6
Solution
m = ( (14 - 6) / ( 8 - 4)
m = 8 / 4
m = 2
