Question

63. What is the slope of a line that passes through points (-5,4) and (3,2)
A
4

Answer 1

-1/4

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-4)/(3-(-5))

m=-2/(3+5)

m=-2/8

simplify

m=-1/4

Answer 2

slope = -
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)

m =
`(2-4)/(3+5)` =
`(-2)/(8)` = -
`(1)/(4)`
