Question

What is the slope of a line containing the ordered pair (2, 3) and (-4, 0)?

​

Answer 1

m (Slope) = 1/2

Explanation:

Coordinate 1: (-4,0)

Coordinate 2: (2,3)

Slope Formula: (Y2-Y1) / (X2-X1) then simplify

(3-0) / (2--4)

3-0 = 3

2--4 = 6 because the two negatives turns into a positive 4, so the equation turns into 2+4=6

(3) / (6) simplifies to 1/2

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

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

m=(0-3)/(-4-2)

m=-3/-6

m=3/6

simplify

m=1/2
