Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. (-2,1) and (0,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2-1}{0+2}$ = $\frac{-3}{2}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$
