Question

what is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (4, -12)? -3/2 -2/5 -5/2 -9/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{5}{2}$

The third option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a straight line passing through two points $=\frac{difference between the ordinates}{difference between the abscissa}$

$\frac{(-12) - (3)}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-15}{6} = -\frac{5}{2}$
