Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through -4,5 and 6,2?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is -3/10

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = -3/10

Explanation:

The equation of the line

y = mx + c

y = intercept point y

m = slope of the line

x = intercept point x

c = intercept

The slope of the line

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given

two points ( -4 , 5) ( 6 , 2)

x1 = -4

y1 = 5

x2 = 6

y2 = 2

Insert the values

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 2 - 5 / 6 - (-4)

= -3 / 6 + 4

= -3/10

The slope of the line is -3/10
