Question

What is the slope of the line through (2, -1) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 1

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\\(x_1,y_1) = (2,-1)~~\text{and}~~ (x_2,y_2) = (-2,-3)\\\\\\\text{Slope,}~ m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{-3+1}{-2-2} = \dfrac{-2}{-4} = \dfrac 12$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope formula:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-3 + 1) / (-2-2)

-2/-4

slope: 1/2
