Question

What is the slope of the line that contains (3, 4) and (–5, 2)?

A. 14/56
B. -4
C. 4
D. -14/56

Answer 1

Slope equation:
\[m = \frac{ y _{2}- y _{1} }{ x _{2}- x1}\]
Your points: (3, 4) and (–5, 2)
Where Y2= 2 and Y1= 4
And X2 = -5 and X1=3

Now plug it in and solve

Answer 2

@zaynahf -4?

Answer 3

How did you get that?

Answer 4

i guessed.since all i got was -2

Answer 5

How did you get from -2 to -4..

Answer 6

-2 - 2 =-4

Answer 7

This is what you're supposed to be doing:
\[\frac{ 2-4 }{ -5 - 3 }\]

Answer 8

Subtract 2-4= -2 and -5-3=-8 -2/-8 is your slope

Answer 9

Simplify it which is 1/4 =m (slope)
