Given:
(-3, 0)
(5, -2)
x1 = -3
x2 = 5
y1= 0
y2 = 2
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 - 0)/(5 - (-3))
m = (2)/(5 + 3)
m = (2)/(4)
m = ¼
Final answer:
The slope of the line = ¼
