Question

Slope What is the slope of the line through (-4, 2) and (3,-3)?

Answer 1

We have the next formula in order to obtain the slope

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

where

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

(3,-3)=(x2,y2)

we substitute the values

$m=\frac{-3-2}{3+4}=\frac{-5}{7}=-\frac{5}{7}$

the slope is -5/7
