Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, -4) and (-1, 2).

Answer 1

id like steps and explanations please

Answer 2

Subtract the y values from each other and the x values from each other. Then divide y/x

Ex. 2-(-4)=y

(-1-3)=x

y/x=slope

Answer 3

-6/4=-3/2=slope

Answer 4

hey the ans is 3/2

Answer 5

2-(-2)= 4 and -1-3 equals -4 4/-4 that makes no sense

Answer 6

sorry its -3/2

Answer 7

i will explain

Answer 8

i want to know HOW to get it so every time i have q i dont have to come back here

Answer 9

let the (3,-4) be (x1,y1)

Answer 10

got it

Answer 11

What?
(2-(-4))=6
and (-1-3)=-4

Answer 12

let (-1,2) be (x2,y2)

Answer 13

You made the arithmetic error by using 2-(-2)= 4 . It's not -2 but -4.

Answer 14

now u get x1=3, y1=-4, x2=-1, y2=2

Answer 15

they just substitute the values in the formula y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 16

u will get the slope as -3/2

Answer 17

tell me if u have got it

Answer 18

um sorry i got lost at this part now u get x1=3, y1=-4, x2=-1, y2=2

Answer 19

To find the slope of the line that passes through (3, -4) and (-1, 2):
Use the simplified formula:
m = (y2- y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = 2 - (-4) / (-1 - 3)
m = 6 / -4
m = -1.5
the slope of the line is -1.5
