Question

NEED HELP FINDING SLOPE OF THE LINE

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

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