Question

the coordinates of points a and b are (2,4) and (-2,-4) respectively. what is the slope of the line that connects the two points

Answer 1

we are given two points as

(2,4) and (-2,-4)

Let's assume

first point as (x1,y1)=(2,4)

so, x1=2 and y1=4

Second point as (x2,y2)=(-2,-4)

so, x2=-2 and y2=-4

now, we can use slope formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

now, we can plug values

`m=(-4-4)/(-2-2)`

now, we can simplify it

`m=2`

so, slope is 2 ..................Answer
