Question

A line passes through the points (4, 3) and (- 2, 1) . The slope of this line in simplest form is

Answer 1

1, 1/2 2, 4/3

Explanation:

If we graph each points. Slope = rise/run

1. U would go 1 up and go 2 to the right. Which equals 1/2 so it’s simplified

2. U would go 4 to the right side and 3 down. Which equals 4/3 u can put it in a decimal if u want or keep it 3/4 it’s fine.

Answer 2

`m=(1)/(3)`

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 3)

Point (-2, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(1-3)/(-2-4)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(-2)/(-6)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(1)/(3)`
