Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (−4, −2) and (−10, 1)? −2 negative one half one half 2

Answer 1

(b) -1/2

Explanation:

You want to know the slope of the line containing the points (-4, -2) and (-10, 1).

Slope

The slope of the line between two points is given by ...

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

m = (1 -(-2))/(-10 -(-4)) = 3/-6 = -1/2

The slope of the line is -1/2.
