Question

What is the slope of the line between (3, -4) and (-2, 1)?

May I please get help with this?
Thanks

Answer 1

This is the formula for slope, m, given two points
\[m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]
Pick (3, -4) to be \((x_1,y_1)\) and (-2, 1) to be \((x_2,y_2)\).

Answer 2

Then plug them into the formula
\[m=\frac{ 1-(-4) }{ -2-3 }\]
and evaluate

Answer 3

ok so} answer is: 5/1 which equals 5?

Answer 4

no. the numerator is 5. Check your work on the denominator

Answer 5

oh lol, it = -5, so the answer is -1?

Answer 6
