Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -1) and (2, -3)?

Answer 1

-1/2 is the slope

Explanation:

here y2 is -3 , y1 is -1 and x2 is 2 , x1 is -2

using the formula for slope.

`m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

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

=
`(-1)/(2)`
