Question

What is the slope of a line (-4,2) and (6,-3)

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

by concept, we now that the slope 'm' of any line is given by the following equation:

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

Where the pairs:

`(x_(1), y_(1))}` is (-4,2)

`(x_(2), y_(2))}` is (6,-3)

We have the following:

`(-3-2))/(6-(-4)) =(-5)/(10)=(-1)/(2)`
