Question

Find the slope of the line containing the given pair of points. If the line is undefined, state so. Please be sure to show all of your work. (-2, 3) and (-4, 6)

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
slope = (6-3)/(-4 - (-2))
slope = 3/-2
slope = -3/2

Answer 2

(-2, 3) and (-4, 6)

slope = (3-6)/(-2+4) = -3/2

From the rightmost point (the first one), since the line decreases 3 for every 2 increase in x, the y-intercept is at the origin.

Answer 3

the formula is Y2-Y1 divided by X1-X2

which would be: 6-3 divided by -4 - -2

3 divided by -2

slope= -1.5 the slope is negative

Answer 4

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

y1=3
y2=6

x1=-2
x2=-4

(6-3)/[-4-(-2)]
(6-3)/(-4+2)
3/-2
-1.5=m
which is the slope

Answer 5

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3-6)/(-2--4)

= -3/2

Equation = y = -3/2x

Answer 6

6-3 over-4-(-2)

Answer 7

-3/2
