Question

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 6) and (0,4).

a. -2

b. -1/2

c. 1

d. 2​

Answer 1

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation
`(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)\\4-6 / 0 -(-4) = - 2 / 4 = - 1 / 2`

Answer 2

B.)
`m=-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

use the slope rule

`(rise)/(run) \\\\\\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}`

Fill in values

`(4-6)/(0-(-4))`

Simplify

`(-2)/(4)\\-(2)/(4)`

Simplify further

`m=-(1)/(2)`

Done.
