Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 6) and (0,4).

Answer 1

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation$(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)\\4-6 / 0 -(-4) = - 2 / 4 = - 1 / 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

B.) $m=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope rule

$\frac{rise}{run} \\\\\\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Fill in values

$\frac{4-6}{0-(-4)}$

Simplify

$\frac{-2}{4}\\-\frac{2}{4}$

Simplify further

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

Done.
