What is the slope of the line through (-2,-6) and (2,2)?

Answer 1

#"slope" =2#

To calculate the slope use the #color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#color(orange)"Reminder " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))# where m represents the slope and # (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" 2 points on the line"#

Here, the two points are (2,2) and (-2, -6).

let # (x_1,y_1)=(-2,-6)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(2,2)#

#rArrm=(2-(-6))/(2-(-2))=8/4=2#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
