Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: #(3,4),(4,2) #?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

Slope of a line joining twp points `(x_1, y_1) and x_2, y_2)` is given by the expression

`(y_2 -y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)` . Using this formula the required slope would be `(2-4)/(4-3)` = -2
