Question

Is 6/-4 the slope for the points 1,-4 and -3,2

Answer 1

yup

Answer 2

slope is difference in the y values divided by the difference (in the same order!) of the x values

if we have \((1,-4)\) as the first point and \((-3,2)\) as the second point,

\[m = \frac{-4-2}{1-(-3)} = \frac{-6}{4} = \frac{6}{-4} = -\frac{6}{4}\]

Answer 3

Reduce to - 3/2
