Question

Find the slope of the line shown below

Answer 1

`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

From the attached photo, we can deduce:

(2,2) as (x1,y1)

(-2,-4) as (x2,y2)

Slope Formula =

`(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)`

Now we can substitute these values into the formula to find the slope.

Slope of line =

`(2 - ( - 4))/(2 - ( - 2)) \\ = (2 + 4)/(2 + 2) \\ = (6)/(4) \\ = (3)/(2) (reduced \: to \: simplest \: form)`
