Question

What is the slope if the line? M=__​

Answer 1

slope = - 3

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 4) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(-4-2)/(3-1)` =
`(-6)/(2)` = - 3

Answer 2

Explanation:

m = -3/1

m = -3
