Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?

Answer 1

m = -2/5 or -.4!

Explanation:

We can insert these values into the standard slope equation to find our slope!

`(8-10)/(36-31) =(-2)/(5)`

So our slope is negative two-fifths!

Answer 2

-2/5

Explanation:

We can find the slope of a line by using

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (6-4)/(41-46)

= 2/-5

= -2/5
