Question

Using the slope equation m = y2−y1x2−x1 and given the points (0, 4) and (2, 1), find the slope.

Answer 1

`- (3)/(2)`

Explanation:

`\textcolor{steelblue}{\boxed{ slope = (y _(1) - y_2 )/(x_1 - x_2) }}`

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate

Slope

`= (4 - 1)/(0 - 2)`

`= (3)/( - 2)`

`= \bf{- (3)/(2) }`
