Question

(3, 1.5) (4,0) the slope

Answer 1

════════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ════════

Answer = -3/2

════════════════════

Known

x1 = 2

y1 = 1.5

x2 = 4

y2 = 0

════════════════════

Question

the slope = gradient (m)

════════════════════

Way to do

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{(0 - 1.5)}{(4 - 2)} = \frac{( - 1.5)}{2} = - \frac{3}{2}$

Note

•Formula of the slope (m)

$\boxed {\ m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Your slope would be -3/2.

Explanation:

In order to solve for the slope, you’d have to use the slope formula, which is:

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

If you were to put the two points in to solve, you’d get:

m = 0 - 1.5/4 - 3

If you solved for that, you’d get:

-1.5/1 or (-3/2)/1

Now here’s the thing about this. You can’t have decimals for a slope, so, the one way you can get rid of that -3/2 is by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 2. Once you do that, you’ll get:

-3/2

Hope it helps. ^^
