find the slope of the line that passes through these points (2,4) (-4,-4)

Question

anonymous · Answer

The equation for slope is
$$m = (y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)$$

So plug the slopes (X,Y) values, and find your answer!

Simple enough. :)

anonymous · Answer

$$y _{2}-y _{1}/x _{2}-x _{1}$$
This is the slope formula, input it as (-4-4)/(-4-2) for your answer.

it gave me choices like undifined
                                  8/5
                                  4/3 
                                  -3/2

anonymous · Answer

-4-4 is -8 and -4-2 is -6, you can simplify -8/-6 to 4/3, it becomes positive because BOTH the numerator and denominator are negative.
