Question

How do you find the slope given (4,4) (-1,-2)?

Answer 1

The slope is `m = 6/5`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is `m =(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

For the points (4,4) and (-1,-2) where
`x_1 = 4`
`y_1 =4`
`x_2 = -1`
`y_2 = -2`

`m =(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m =(-2 - 4)/(-1-4)`

`m = (-6)/-5`

`m =6/5`
