Which of the following is the slope between the points (-2, 4) and (2, -2)? -3/2 -2/3 3/2 2/3

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

find rise/run m = (4 - -2)/(-2 -2) should help you

OpenStudy (buttermequeasy):

help please i don't understand this

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

pick up a calculator and evaluate

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

To find the slope of a line, we must use the formula: y2-y1 ----- x2-x1

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

In this case, the points given are: (-2,4) = (x1,y1) and (2,-2) = (x2,y2)

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

And now simply substitute: y2 - y1 -2 - 4 ------ = ------ x2 - x1 2 - (-2)

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Now solve this, and you will conclude to a slope
