Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, –3) and (–2, 5)? 2 1/2 -1/2 -2

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is -2.

Explanation:

(2,-3)

(-2,5)

Using the two given points, you can find the slope by finding the difference in the y coordinates and diving it by the difference in the x coordinates.

y coordinates: -3 - 5= -8

x coordinates; 2-(-2) = 4

Slope: -8/ 4 = -2
