Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-6,1) and (4,-4)

Answer 1

Slope of the line is -0.5

Explanation:

• Step 1: Find the slope of the line using the equation

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1); Here x1 = -6, y1 = 1, x2 = 4 and y2 = -4

⇒ m = (-4 - 1)/(4 - -6)

= -5/10 = -1/2 = -0.5
