Question

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

A.1/2
B.2
C.-2
D. - 1/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-2, 2)

(-4, -2)

B

Answer 2

B. 2

Step-by-step explanion

slope is caluclated by the change in y and change in x. so basiclly you would take one y value and subtract it from the other y value. -2-2=4.

then you would do the same with your x values. use the same coordinate that you got your y value from (i hope that made sense). -4-(-2)=-2.

after you find the change in y and change in x, you divide both those values. so we would do change in y divided by change in x. 4/2=2

so the slope equals 2. hope this helped!!
