Question

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

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

find the difference btwn the second and first y coords.

-1 - 2 = -3

find the difference between second and first x coords.

2 - -4 = 6

-3/6 simplifies to -1/2

Answer 2

1/-2 is the slope

Explanation:

`(2-(-1))/(-4-2) = (2+1)/(-4-2) = (3)/(-6) = (1)/(-2)`
