Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (3,2) and (-5,4)

Answer 1

The slope, m, of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated as follows:

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

Substituting with points (3,2) and (-5,4), we get:

`m=(4-2)/(-5-3)=(2)/(-8)=-(1)/(4)`

The slope is -1/4
