Given:
(2, 3)
(4, 2)
x1 = 2
x2 = 4
y1= 3
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 - 3)/(4 -2)
m = -1/2
m = -½
Final answer:
The slope of the line = -½
