Question

Find the slope of the line through the points (3,-4) and(-5,2)

Answer 1

hello!

Use the slope formula:-

`\displaystyle(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Plug in the values:-

`\displaystyle(2-(-4))/(-5-3)`

`\displaystyle(2+4)/(-8) =(6)/(-8) =-(6)/(8)`

Reduce the fraction by dividing the top & bottom by 2:-

`-\displaystyle(3)/(4)`

`\uparrow\sf{Slope}`
