Question

What is the slope of a line that contains the points (4, -2) and (-1, 4)

Answer 1

-6/5

Explanation:

We can find the slope by using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (4 - -2)/(-1 -4)

= (4+2)/ ( -1-4)

=-6/5

Answer 2

-6/5

Explanation:

The slope is (4 - (-2)) / (-1 - 4) = (4 + 2) / (-5) = 6 / -5 = -6/5.
