Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line by using

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = (6-4)/(41-46)

    = 2/-5

   = -2/5

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -2/5 or -.4!

Step-by-step explanation:

We can insert these values into the standard slope equation to find our slope!

$\frac{8-10}{36-31} =\frac{-2}{5}$

So our slope is negative two-fifths!
