Question

A line segment is formed by connecting two points located at (-4,2) and (2,-1). What is the slope of this line segment? A.-3/8 B.-3 C.-1/2 D.-1/6

Answer 1

the formula for slope is
m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
you can plug in the points that you are given to find the slope
m= (-1-2)/(2-(-4)
m= -3/6

the slope is -3/6 which reduced to -1/2

so the answer would be
c) -1/2

hope this helped!
