Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 2) and (-1,-4)?
m=

Answer 1

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:We know that,

Slope of the straight line passing through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Here,

Given, x1= 3,x2= 1

and y1= 2,y2= -4

so, the slope of the straight line is,

m= -4-2/-1-3

=3/2

Answer 2

The answer is 3/2

Explanation: the formula is y-y /x-x
So it’ll be 2-(-4) /3-(-1) which will give 6 /4 and that simplifies will give 2/ 3
