Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 4), and (1, -2)?

- 1/3
1/3
3
-3

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 4) and (1, -2) can be found using the formula:

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

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. Substituting the values, we get:

m = (-2 - 4) / (1 - (-1))

m = -6 / 2

m = -3

So, the slope of the line is -3.
