Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (2, −1) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: A(x_{1},y_{1})=(-3,4),\\B(x_{2},y_{2})=(2,-1)$

$Slope \: of \: a \:line \\passing \: through \:the \:points \\AB (m) \\=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\=\frac{-1-4}{2-(-3)}\\=\frac{-5}{2+3}\\=\frac{-5}{5}\\=-1$

Therefore,

slope = -1
