Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through -2 -2 and 2 -4

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

To find the slope we know that:

Slope = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

Then, given the two points, we have that:

(X1, Y1) = (-2,-2)

(X2, Y2) = (2, -4)

Then:

m= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = (-4-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = -4+2/2+2 = -2/4 = -1/2

So the slope of the function that passes through those points is: -1/2
