Question

What is the slope of the line through (-2,-2)(-2,-2)left parenthesis, minus, -2, comma, -2, right parenthesis and (2,-4)(2,−4)left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line between two points, you can use the formula:

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

Plugging in the given coordinates, we have:

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

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

m = (-2) / (4)

m = -1/2

The slope of the line through the points (-2, -2) and (2, -4) is -1/2.
