Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (-41.28,4.8) and (2.28,3.2)what is the slope or is it undefined?

Answer 1

We have the formula of the slope given two points

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) , (x2,y2) are the points given

in our case we have

(-41.28,4.8) =(x1,y1)

(2.28,3.2)=(x2,y2)

We substitute the values

`m=(3.2-4.8)/(2.2+41.28)=-0.0367`
