Question

What is the slope of the given points (0, -1) and (-2,-4)?*-3/2 -2/32/33/2

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the line passes through the points (0, -1) and (-2,-4), then its slope is:

`m=(-4-(-1))/(-2-0)=(-3)/(-2)=(3)/(2)`
