Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (1, -4) and (-1, 3)
, -5/4??????

Answer 1

[3-(-4)]/(-1-1) = -7/2

Answer 2

i got -2/7 ?

Answer 3

yep the equation is m= slope
m=(y_2_-Y_1_/x_2_-X_1_)

Answer 4

so y2=3 y1=-4 x2 =-1 and x1=1

Answer 5

so, ((3-(-4))/(-1-1)))

Answer 6

does that make sense?

Answer 7

so 7/-2 ?

Answer 8

ya and that negative will make the whole term negative leaving you with -7/2

Answer 9

its really simple if you can remember the equation i gave you at first

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
