Question

Find the slope of the line. ​

Answer 1

slope = -
`(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

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

m =
`(-2-2)/(2+3)` =
`(-4)/(5)` = -
`(4)/(5)`

Answer 2

-4/5.

Explanation:

The 2 marked points are (-3, 2) and (2, -2)

So the slope = (-2-2)/(2- -3)

= -4/5.
