What is the slope of the line through (0,4) (3,-2)

Answer 1

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

the line through the points has slope = (4--2)/(0-3) = 6/-3 = -2

slope = the difference in y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates

it doesn't matter whether you do it as (4+2)/(0-3) or as (-2-4)/(3-0). they both equal the same, -2
