Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1/x2-x1)

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

Answer 2

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

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