Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (4, -12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fact: Slope of line passing through the points

(x 1 ,y 1 ) and (x 2 ,y 2) is given by, m= x 2 −x 1y 2 −y 1

Therefore slope of line passing through the points A(2,3) and B(4,7) is =

4−27−3 = 24 =2

Answer 2

Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope/Gradient= y2-y1/x2-x1

= -12-3/4-(-2)

=-15/6

= -2.5

Slope is -2.5
