Question

What is the slope of the line between (3,-4) and (-2,1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 1)

m = $\frac{1+4}{-2-3}$ = $\frac{5}{-5}$ = - 1
