Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, – 1)?

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be written as
`\frac{\triangle{y}}{\triangle{x}}` or
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`. Plugging in the values gives us
`(-1 - 4)/(2 - (-3)) = (-5)/(5) = \boxed{-1}`

Answer 2

m=-1 or -1/1 (same thing)

Explanation:

(y2-y1/x2-x1)

(-1-4)/(2-(-3))=-5/5=-1
