Question

Explain how find the Slope for a line passing through (-2, 6) and (4.-3)

What is the slope passing through (-2-,6) and (4.-3)

Answer 1

`-1(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Slope is calculated using
`(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`.

We'll just substitute in our points.

`(-3-6)/(4-(-2))`

Simplify.

`(-9)/(6)`

Simplify.....

`-1(3)/(6)`

More...

`-1(1)/(2)`

And we're done!
