Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -1) and (2, -3)?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m:

`m=(-3-(-1))/(2-(-2))`

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

`m=(-2)/(4)`

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