Answer 1

Answer: -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the slope of a line is $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2-x1}$. Y1 is 5, Y2 is 3, X1 is 2, and X2 is -4. Plug these numbers in to get the equation $\frac{5-3}{(-4)-2}$. 5-3 = 2. (-4)-2 = -6. This gives a slope of 2/-6, which can be reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2 to get a final slope of -1/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sf slope: \boxed{\bf \frac{1}{3} }$

Explanation:

$\sf slope :\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\dfrac{rise}{run} \ \ \ \ where \ (x_1, \ y_1) ,(x_2, \ y_2) \ are \ points$

Find slope:

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}$

insert values

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{3-5}{-4-2}$

simplify

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{3}$
