Question

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

Answer 1

Hello! :)

Answer:

slope is $-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: $m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run

$\frac{rise}{run}$

$y^2,y^1=(1,-4)$

$x^2-x^1=(-2,-2)$

$\frac{1-(-2)=1+2=3}{(-4)-(-2)=-2}$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-2, -2) and (-4, 1). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{1-(-2)}{-4-(-2)}=\dfrac{1+2}{-4+2}=\dfrac{3}{-2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

Answer: slope = $-\dfrac{3}{2}$
