What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -1)(−2,−1) and (2, -3) ?(2,−3)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Respuesta :

The slope of line that passes through given points is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is:

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

Given points are:

(-2,-1) = (x1,y1)

(2,-3) = (x2,y2)

Putting the values in the formula of slope

m = [tex]=\frac{-3-(-1)}{2-(-2)}\\=\frac{-3+1}{2+2}\\=\frac{-2}{4}\\=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The slope of line that passes through given points is -1/2
