Question

A. What iS the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 3) and (4, -5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 5 )

m = $\frac{-5-3}{4-(-2)}$ = $\frac{-8}{4+2}$ = $\frac{-8}{6}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$
