Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-2,9) and (-4,6) ?

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (6-9)/(-4-(-2)) = (-3)/(-2) =(3)/(2)`

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

The slope formula would be:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

So for (-2,9) and (-4,6), we can plug in the variables: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Let's use the numbers in the equation provided above:

`(6-9)/(-4-(-2))`

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

=
`(3)/(2)`
