Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,2) and (2,-10)

Answer 1

Answer: the slope is -2

Explanation:

The slope formula is y1- y2 / x1 - x2

In this case y1 = 2, y2 = -10, x1 = -4, and x2 = 2

This translates to 2 - (-10) / -4 - 2

Which in turn translates to -12/6

So your slope is -2
