Question

What is the slope of (-2,-2) and (-4,1)

Answer 1

Hello! :)

Answer:

slope is
`-(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

Slope formula:
`m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

Slope-intercept form:
`y=mx+b`

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run

`(rise)/(run)`

`y^2,y^1=(1,-4)`

`x^2-x^1=(-2,-2)`

`(1-(-2)=1+2=3)/((-4)-(-2)=-2)`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (-2, -2) and (-4, 1). Substitute:

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

Answer: slope =
`-(3)/(2)`
