Question

question 14 of 23 what is the slope of the line shown below? (3, -2) (2, -4) a. 2 b. $\frac{1}{2}$ c. $-\frac{1}{2}$ d. -2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.

Step2: Identify the points

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(2,-4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,-2)$.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{-2-(-4)}{3 - 2}=\frac{-2 + 4}{1}=\frac{2}{1}=2$.

Answer:

A. 2
