Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 2) and (-6,5).

Answer 1

`Slope = -(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

`(-4, 2) \:(-6,5).\\\\m =(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\\\x_1 = -4\\y_1 =2\\x_2 = -6\\y_2 =5\\\\m = (5 -2)/(-6-(-4))\\ m = (3)/(-6+4)\\ m = (3)/(-2)\\ \\Slope = -(3)/(2)`

Answer 2

-3/2

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well to find the slope of a line with 2 points we use the following formula,

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

5 - 2 = 3

-6 - -4 = -2

Slope = -3/2

Hope this helps :)
