the coordinates of points a and b are (2,4) and (-2,-4) respectively. what is the slope of the line that connects the two points

Respuesta :

we are given two points as

(2,4) and (-2,-4)

Let's assume

first point as (x1,y1)=(2,4)

so, x1=2 and y1=4

Second  point as (x2,y2)=(-2,-4)

so, x2=-2 and y2=-4

now, we can use slope formula

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]m=\frac{-4-4}{-2-2}[/tex]

now, we can simplify it

[tex]m=2[/tex]

so, slope is 2 ..................Answer
