  • Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (0, 6)

Point (1, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute [SF]:                    [tex]m=\frac{-2-6}{1-0}[/tex]
  2. Subtract:                              [tex]m=\frac{-8}{1}[/tex]
  3. Divide:                                 [tex]m=-8[/tex]
