Question

A line passes through the points (4, -1) and (2,3). What is the slope of the line?

-2. 2
1/2
-1/2

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line with 2 given points, you use the formula

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Now you plug in the points which would be m=3-(-1)/2-4 which equals m=4/-2

4/-2 equals -2

The slope is -2
