Question

Please help thank you

Answer 1

2 obv

Explanation:

slope of -4 and 3 is 2

because -xcoefficient/ycoefficient

and the - × - becomes +

so it will be 4/2 and the answer is 2

Answer 2

m = -1/2

Explanation:

Slope can be calculated using the following formula

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

Where the values of x and y derive from points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) which can be found in the table.

Here the values of x and y may vary depending on the chosen points however I have chosen (-4,3) and (-2,2)

If we use these points then (x1,y1) = (-4,3) and (x2,y2) = (-2,2)

So, x1 = -4, y1 = 3, x2 = -2 and y2 = 2

We now plug these values into the formula

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

plug in x1 = -4, y1 = 3, x2 = -2 and y2 = 2

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

==> simplify parenthesis

m = -1/2

No further simplification can be done so m = -1/2 is the final answer
