Answer:
Explanation:
Stephanie, so many people ask questions about this type of problem, I think the teachers don't know how to explain these at all. Ask your teacher if I can have some of their salary :) I have to explain this to that many people.. :0
given"
point P1 (-4,-2) in the form (x1,y1)
point P2(3,1) in the form (x2,y2)
slope = m
formula for slope is:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (1-(-2) ) / (3 - (-4))
m = (1+2) / (3+4)
m = 3 /7
That's your slope, ask if you need more explanation, I'm really curious about why this type of problem causes so many questions :/
