Question

What is the slope of the line through (-4.2) and (3,-3)?​

Answer 1

`-(5)/(7)`

Explanation:

Slope formula:

↓

`(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)`

`((-3)-2)/(3-(-4))=(-5)/(7)=-(5)/(7)`

-5/7 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Finding the slope using the two points:

The formula for slope is

`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

In this case...

`y_(2) =-3\\y_(1) =2\\x_(2) =3\\x_(1) =-4`

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

`(-3-2)/(3 - (-4))`

`(-5)/(7)`

^^^This is your slope
