Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 4) and (5, 2)?

Answer 1

\[\large\rm \frac{ y_2 -y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]formula to find slope
where x's and y's are \[\large\rm (x_1,y_1)(x_2,y_2) \rightarrow (-3,4)(5,2)\]

Answer 2

I got -2/2

Answer 3

how did you get that what's x_1 ,x_2 and what are the y values ?

Answer 4

You subtract y2 and y2 then do the same with the x's! Don't you?

Answer 5

yes correct

Answer 6

but remember one of the x is negative

Answer 7

x is 2 thats what i got

Answer 8

no that's incorrect
plugin x_1=-3
x_2 = 5

Answer 9

Oh ok
