What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) and (-4, 3)?
1 answer:
Answer:
Slope = -⅓
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the slope of a straight line is
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
The line passes through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3).
m = (3 - 2)/[-4 - (-1)]
= 1/(-4 + 1)
= -⅓
The slope of the line is -⅓.
The Figure below shows the graph of your line through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3) with a slope of -⅓.

Answer: choice 2) SAS
AB = DE is one pair of congruent sides that forms the first S in SAS. The other S in SAS refers to the pair of congruent sides BC = EF. The A in SAS is the angle pair angle B = angle E. Note how angle B and angle E are between the two pairs of congruent sides. The order of the letters matters because SAS is different from SSA, which is not a valid congruence argument. Check out the attached image.
Two parallel lines have the same slope.
the slope of the given line is: -2y=-3x+12
y=3/2x -6
so the slope is 3/2
the new line passes (0,0), so the equation is simply:
the slope of the given line is: -2y=-3x+12
y=3/2x -6
so the slope is 3/2
the new line passes (0,0), so the equation is simply:
