Question

What is the slope? (1,-2) and (3,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -3

Solution:

(x1, y1) = (1, 2), (x2, y2) = (3, - 4)

If you’re give two points
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Slope:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = -4 - 2 / 3 - 1 = - 6/2 = -3

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

Slope=Rise/Run=(x2-x1)/(y2-y1)

[3-(-1)]/[-4-(-2)]

4/-2

-2

So the slope is -2
