Hello,
As you have not provided the graph, I can teach you how to answer the question.
You are solving for the slope of the line. The slope can be found by using the following equation:
slope (signified by the variable m) = [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Note that the numbers does not exactly matter, only that what you set as variable [tex]x_1[/tex], the y inside that coordinate will also be [tex]y_1[/tex], and likewise for point 2.
For example, let us say your points for your line is (3 , 6) and (10 , 4)
Let:
[tex](x_1 , y_1)[/tex] [tex]= ( 3 , 6)[/tex]
[tex](x_2 , y_2) = (10 , 4)[/tex]
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:
slope [tex]m = \frac{4 - 6}{10 - 3} = - \frac{2}{7}[/tex]
The given points will result in a [tex]-\frac{2 }{7}[/tex] slope.
Hope this helps!
