Question

Given the following two points find the slope. p1(-2,3)and p2(1,0)

Answer 1

Slope(m) = -1

Step by step explanation

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

Here p1 = (-2, 3) and p2 (1, 0)

x1 = -2, y1 = 3, x2 = 1, y2 = 0

Now plug in the values in the slope formula, we get

m = (0 - 3) / (1 - (-2))

m = -3/(1 + 2)

m = -3/3

m = -1

Therefore, slope = -1
