Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points? (-4,4), (3,2)?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Step-by-step explanation:

$SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{2-4}{3-(-4)}=\frac{-2}{7}$

Slope is -2/7

Final answer is -2/7.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-4, 4) and (3, 2). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{2-4}{3-(-4)}=\dfrac{-2}{3+4}=-\dfrac{2}{7}$

Answer: The slope is - 2/7.
