Question

Which of the following is the slope between the points (-2, 4) and (2, -2)?

negative three halves

negative two thirds

three halves

two thirds

Answer 1

i dont understand

Answer 2

u are given two point (-2, 4) and (2, -2) ok
now let (x1,y1)=(-2,4)
so \[x_1=-2\]
and
\[y_1=4\]
and another set is=(2,-2) so
let (x2,y2)=(2,-2)
so
\[x_2=2\]
and
\[y_2=-2\]
now slope between them is
\[m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1}\]
now just put the values

Answer 3

i think i did something wrong cause i got -6/-4

Answer 4

@sidsiddhartha

Answer 5

it is \[m=\frac{ -2-4 }{ 2-(-2)}=-6/4=-3/2\]

Answer 6

thankyou
