Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (4, -2) and (-5, 4)?

Answer 1

• (4,-2)
• (-5,4)

Slope:-

• m=4-(-2)/-5-4
• m=4+2/-9
• m=-6/9
• m=-2/3

Answer 2

-2/3

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula when we have two points

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 4 - -2)/( -5 -4)

= ( 4+2)/( -5-4)

= 6/ -9

Simplifying

= -2/3
