Question

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

-3/2

-2/3

3/2

2/3

Answer 1

find rise/run m = (4 - -2)/(-2 -2)

should help you

Answer 2

help please i don't understand this

Answer 3

pick up a calculator and evaluate

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

And now simply substitute:

y2 - y1 -2 - 4
------ = ------
x2 - x1 2 - (-2)

Answer 7

Now solve this, and you will conclude to a slope
