Answer:

B slope=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

take change in y\x

hence:

6-8\4-2

ans=

-2\2

=-1

Answer:

Option B) Slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line passing thru any two points, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), its slope is:

[tex]\boxed{\mathfrak{slope\:of \:a\: line=\mathsf {\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} }}}[/tex]

Here, the points are (2, 8) and (4, 6)

therefore,

slope = [tex]\mathsf{\frac{6-8}{4-2} }[/tex]

= [tex]\mathsf{\frac{-2}{2} }[/tex]

= -1

[NOTE: Here, I'm taking (2, 8) as (x₁, y₁), you can take (4, 6) as the latter. The answer obtained in both the cases will be the same.]
