Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points ( 4 , − 6 ) and ( − 2 , 3)

Answer 1

m = -3/2

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (4, − 6) and (− 2, 3)

We see the y increase by 9 and the x decrease by 6, so the slope is

m = - 9/6 = -3/2

So, the slope of the line is -3/2
