Question

Find the slope of, m, of the line passing through points (-4,-3) and (0,-2)

Answer 1

Slope =
`(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)`
where X2 is the x-coordinate of the second ordered pair and X1 is the x-coordinate of the first ordered pair. Same applies for Y2 and Y1.

Now we just plug in.


`(-2 - (-3))/(0 - (-4))`

which equals


`(1)/(4)` which is your slope.
