Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points. (-4,5) and (0, 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3/-4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = $-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the slope between a pair of points, use the slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

$x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line passes through. $x_2$ and $y_2$ represent the x and y values of another point the line also passes through. We know the line passes through (-4,5) and (0,2). So, substitute their x and y values for the formula (following the appropriate order) and solve:

$\frac{(2)-(5)}{(0)-(-4)} \\= \frac{2-5}{0+4} \\= \frac{-3}{4}$

Thus, the slope is $-\frac{3}{4}$
