Question

Find the slope of a line given the following points: (-2, 4) and (3,-2)

A. -5/6
B. 6/5
C. 5/6
D. -6/5

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 4) and (3, -2) is -6/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula:

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

Given the points (-2, 4) and (3, -2), we can substitute the coordinates into the formula:

slope = (-2 - 4) / (3 - (-2))
= -6 / 5

So, the slope of the line passing through the given points is -6/5. Therefore, the correct answer is D. -6/5.
