Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7, 2) and (3, -2)

Answer 1

- 4 / 10 (or -2/5 if you need to simplify)

Explanation:

using the point-slope formula, m = (y2-y1) / (x2 - x1)

using the ordered pairs, you get

m = (-2 - 2) / (3 - -7)

m = (-4) / (10)

m= -4/10

if you need to reduce, it's -2/5
