Question

Find the slope of each line.

HELP ME PLEASE!!! 15 PTS!!!

Answer 1

Find the slope (y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁) using the two given points.

Given points: (-1,2) and (1,-4)

• y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ = Slope
• => -4 - 2/1 - (-1) = Slope
• => -6/1 + 1 = Slope
• => -6/2 = Slope
• => -3 = Slope

Hence, the slope of the line is -3.

Answer 2

slope = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

• recall the formula to find slope:
  `(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
• Here given ( dotted ) coordinates: (4,1),(-2,-1)

Steps:

Using the formula:

• 
  `(-1-1)/(-2-4)`
• 
  `(-2)/(-6)`
• 
  `(1)/(3)`
