Question

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

Answer 1

Use the slope formula:
\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
Can you plug the points into the formula? :)

Answer 2

i don't know the answer of this qustion

Answer 3

so take y2 which is 1, and subtract that from y1 which is -2
That is going to be divided by x2 which is -4 minus x1 which is -1

Answer 4

So you have 1-2 over -4 -1 :)

Answer 5

So the slope is -1 over -5, or -1/5 :)
