Question

8) Use the slope formula to find the slope between
the points: (-1,2) and (3,- 3)
m =

Answer 1

m = -5/4

Explanation:

The slope formula is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

• 
  `((-3)-(2))/(3-(-1))`
• 
  `(-5)/(3+1)`
• 
  `(-5)/(4)`

Therefore, m = -5/4.

Answer 2

-5/4

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

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

= ( -3 -2)/( 3 - -1)

= ( -3-2 ) /( 3+1)

= -5/4
