Question

Find the slope of the line below . Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal.

Use a slash mark ( / ) as the fraction bar if necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,4) and (-5,-2)

Slope = (4 + 2) / (-1 + 5) = 6/4 = 3/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$slope = \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the given line, pick the two given points

(-1,4) and (-5,-2)

to find slope use formula

$slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(-1,4) is (X1,y1) and  (-5,-2) is (x2,y2)

$slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ plug in the values and find out slope

$slope = \frac{-2-4}{-5+1}$

$slope = \frac{-6}{-4}$

$slope = \frac{3}{2}$
