Question

Find the slope useing points (-3,-2) and (1,4)

Answer 1

1 1/2

Explanation:

slope is gotten from the formula (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)

where Y2 = 4, Y1 = 2, X2 = 1, X1 = -2

hence slope is = (4-(-2)) / (1-(-3))

slope = 6/4

slope = 1 1/2

Answer 2

The slope between the points

`m=(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given the points

• (-3,-2)

• (1,4)

Finding the slope between the points

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:4\right)`

`m=(4-\left(-2\right))/(1-\left(-3\right))`

`m=(3)/(2)`

Thus, the slope between the points

`m=(3)/(2)`
