Question

If (-2,4) are the coordinates of a point on the line whose equation is y=Mx+1 , what is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Slope of the line is -3/2

Explanation:

• Step 1: Given that (-2, 4) is a point on the line y = mx + 1, find slope m.

Since the point is on the line, the coordinates will satisfy the equation.

⇒ 4 = m × -2 + 1

⇒ 4 = -2m + 1

⇒ 3 = -2m

∴ m = -3/2
