Question

find the slope (2,-3) and (4,-1)

Answer 1

2/2 =1

Answer 2

-7/3

Answer 3

how'd you get -7/3?

Answer 4

there is a formula:\[y _{2}-y _{1}/x _{2}-x _{1}\]

Answer 5

slope (m)= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) Let us call (2,-3) P1 and Let us call (4, -1) P2. Please note that this is your call and it is arbitrary but once called, you must stick with it.

m=(-1--3)/(4-2)
m=(2/2)=1
m=1
