Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through these points?

Answer 1

The slope is -4.

Explanation:

First, take the slope formula:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Then, substitute in the data using whatever ordered pairs you want.

I'll just use these:

m = -6 - 2 / 3 - 1

m = -8 / 2

m = -4
