Question

Find the slope of the lines passing through the points (1 score each)

1. (3, -2) and (-1, 4)

2. (4, -5) and (2, 1)

3. (0, -2) and (4, 3)

Answer 1

1. Slope

\(\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4-(-2)}{-1-3}\) = \(-\frac{3}{2}\)

2. Slope

\(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\) = \(\frac{1-(-5)}{2-4}\) = \(-\frac{6}{2}\) = -3

3. Slope

\(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\) = \(\frac{3-(-2)}{4-0} = \frac{5}{4}\)
