Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (3,-4) and (-2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Given points:

(3 -4) = (x1, y1)

(-2, 6) = (x2, y2)

To find the slope, input the given points into the slope formula:

$\frac{6-(-4)}{-2-3}$

Solve:

6 - (-4) = 6 + 4 = 10

-2 -3 = -5

Simplify:

$\frac{10}{-5}=\frac{2}{-1}=-2$

The slope is -2.
