Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (−2,2) and (−4,−1)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Using points (-2,2) and (-4,-1), this gives us:

`(-1-2)/(-4-(-2))`, which simplifies to
`(3)/(2)`.
