What is the slope of the line?

Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

From the graph you can see (4,2) and (0,-4) are two points on the line_.

Given 2 points on a line, the slope m of a line is defined by rise over run or m = (y_{2 -} y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (2-(-4))/(4-0) = 6/4 = 3/2.

Answer 2

Choose two points:

(2,-1) and (0,-4)

change in y (-4 -(-1)) = -3

change in x (0-2) = -2

slope = change in y/ change in x = -3/2
