Answer:

The slope would be: -2

Explanation:

To find the slope of these two points:

(0,4) and (3,-2)

You would have to use the formula of slope to find it.

The slope formula is:

y₂ - y₁

X₂ - X₁

So subsitute in Those two points

(0,4) would be your (x₁ , y₁)

(3,-2) would be your (x₂ , y₂)

So your formula witht he subsituted #'s in it would look like:

-2 - 4

3 - 2

Your answer would be:

-6

3

Simplified, it is -2

So your slope is -2
