Question

A line passes through the points (4, 3) and (- 2, 1) . The slope of this line in simplest form is

Answer 1

Answer:

1, 1/2 2, 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we graph each points. Slope = rise/run

1. U would go 1 up and go 2 to the right. Which equals 1/2 so it’s simplified

2. U would go 4 to the right side and 3 down. Which equals 4/3 u can put it in a decimal if u want or keep it 3/4 it’s fine.

Answer 2

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 3)

Point (-2, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                     $m=\frac{1-3}{-2-4}$
2. Subtract:                        $m=\frac{-2}{-6}$
3. Simplify:                         $m=\frac{1}{3}$
