Answer:
[tex]\sf slope: \boxed{\bf \frac{1}{3} }[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\sf slope :\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\dfrac{rise}{run} \ \ \ \ where \ (x_1, \ y_1) ,(x_2, \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]
Find slope:
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}[/tex]
insert values
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{3-5}{-4-2}[/tex]
simplify
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Answer: -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to find the slope of a line is [tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]. Y1 is 5, Y2 is 3, X1 is 2, and X2 is -4. Plug these numbers in to get the equation [tex]\frac{5-3}{(-4)-2}[/tex]. 5-3 = 2. (-4)-2 = -6. This gives a slope of 2/-6, which can be reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2 to get a final slope of -1/3.
