Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, -6) and (-2, 3) Write your answer in simplest form.​

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-6)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{-2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}} \implies \cfrac{3 +6}{-6} \implies \cfrac{ 9 }{ -6 } \implies - \cfrac{3 }{ 2 }`

Answer 2

9/-6 or -1.5
