Question

What is the slope of the line through (-1, 4) and (1, -2)?

Answer 1

Slope = -3

Explanation:

do you need an explanation

Answer 2

slope = - 3

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

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

m =
`(-2-4)/(1+1)` =
`(-6)/(2)` = - 3
