Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-4, 2) and (-16, -6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is equal to $\frac{2}{3}$ . So the right answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if we are given to points of a function we can find out its slope by using the following formula....

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Where m is the slope,  $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ are the coordinates of the first point, $x_{2}$ and $y_{2}$ are coordinates of the second point.

Let (-4, 2) be $(x_{1} , y_{1})$

Let (-16, - 6) be $(x_{2}, y_{2} )$

then......
