Math Problem Statement

Find the​ slope, if it​ exists, of the line. -8 8 -8 8 x y left parenthesis negative 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis(−2,−2)

Solution

It seems like there may have been some formatting issues with your question. However, I'll interpret this as asking for the slope of a line passing through the point (2,2)(-2, -2) and given a pair of x and y values.

If the problem is simply about finding the slope between two points, let’s assume you have two points, (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2). The slope mm is calculated as:

m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Without the other pair of points, it's unclear. Could you please clarify the other point or values?

Do you want more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 relative questions to expand on this topic:

  1. How do you find the slope if you know only one point and a given equation?
  2. What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?
  3. How do you interpret positive and negative slopes in a graph?
  4. How would you find a line’s slope if it's perpendicular to another line?
  5. How do you determine if a line is horizontal or vertical based on its slope?

Tip: The slope represents the rate of change or "steepness" of a line. A positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope means it falls.
