Question

What is the slope of the line through (-1,4) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:The slope is -3 or -3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope you have to find the difference in the y values then divide it by the difference in the x values.

4-(-2)= 6

-1-1=-2

6/-2= -3

Answer 2

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change of x over change of y

6 over 2

3

line goes down so slope is negative

-3
