Question

Find the slope for (-4,-2)(-3,-6)

Answer 1

`(y)/(x) = ( - 4)/(1) = - 4`

Explanation:

`x = ( - 3) - ( - 4) = 1`

`y = ( - 6) - ( - 2) = - 4`

Answer 2

The slope is -4.

Explanation:

The values -2 and -6 are 4 values apart.

The values -4 and -3 are 1 value apart.

Since the second coordinate is lower than the first one, the slope of this is negative.

4 / 1 = 1

Negating 1 gets us -1.

Hope this helped!
