Question

*For the slope of the straight line that passes through the points (-2;p) and (-3;4) to be equal to -1, the value of p must be: *

(A) -3
(B) 0
(C) 2
(D) 3

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

slope= (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

-1 = (4-p)/(-3+2)

-1 x (-3+2) =4-p

1 = 4-p

p=3

Answer 2

Answer:

(D) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(p -4)/({-2) - (-3)} = -1

gives p= 3
