Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 1) and (0, -3)?

Answer 1

do you know the formula of slope of a line passing through (a.b) and(c,d)??

Answer 2

nope i dont

Answer 3

the formula is (difference of y coordinates)/difference of x coordinates,i.e, (d -b)/(c-a)
Just plug in the values. The answer is -2

Answer 4

\[(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\]
(x1, y1), (x2, y2)=(-2, 1), (0, -3)

x1=-2, y1=1, x2=0, y2=-3

Like @Rohith15 said, just plug in the values and you should get -2 :3

Let me know if that makes sense.

Answer 5

@girlnotonfire the slope is -2 right??

Answer 6

Yes!

(-3-1)/(0-(-2))
=-4/2
=-2
