Question

What is the slope of the line between (-4, 4) and (-1, -2)? 1 2 -2 -1

Answer 1

Answer:   -2, which is choice C

Work Shown:

$(x_1,y_1) = (-4,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (-1,-2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-2 - 4}{-1 - (-4)}\\\\m = \frac{-2 - 4}{-1 + 4}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{3}\\\\m = -2$

The slope is -2
