Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 2) and (-6,5).

Answer 1

Answer:

$Slope = -\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-4, 2) \:(-6,5).\\\\m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\x_1 = -4\\y_1 =2\\x_2 = -6\\y_2 =5\\\\m = \frac{5 -2}{-6-(-4)}\\ m = \frac{3}{-6+4}\\ m = \frac{3}{-2}\\ \\Slope = -\frac{3}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well to find the slope of a line with 2 points we use the following formula,

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

5 - 2 = 3

-6 - -4 = -2

Slope = -3/2

Hope this helps :)
