Question

k =
3. What is the slope of the line that passes through
the points (2,-5) and (-4, -1)? Give your answer
as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Slope = $\frac{-1 -(-5)}{-4-2} = \frac{4}{-6} =-\frac{2}{3}$
