Question

Determine the slope of a line that passes through A(-4, 7) and B(6,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{-2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula:

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

Plug in the numbers (coordinates) given, like so:

$m=\frac{3-7}{6+4}$

$m=\frac{-4}{10}$

Simplify:

$m=\frac{-2}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3-7)/(6 - -4)

   = -4/(6+4)

   - 4/(10)

    = -2/5
