Answer:

slope = 1/3

explanation:

  • recall the formula to find slope: [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
  • Here given ( dotted ) coordinates: (4,1),(-2,-1)

Steps:

Using the formula:

  • [tex]\frac{-1-1}{-2-4}[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{-2}{-6}[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Solution:

Find the slope (y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁) using the two given points.

Given points: (-1,2) and (1,-4)

  • y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ = Slope
  • => -4 - 2/1 - (-1) = Slope
  • => -6/1 + 1 = Slope
  • => -6/2 = Slope
  • => -3 = Slope

Hence, the slope of the line is -3.
