Question

What is the slope ( in simplest form) of the line through the points (-4,2) and (-16,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

(-4,2) = (x1,y1)

(-16,-6) = (x2,y2)

Slope = $\frac{-6-2}{-16+4}$

          = $\frac{-8}{-12}$

          = $\frac{2}{3}$
