Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is referring to the gradient of the line.
To work out the gradient, you need to know this equation:
gradient = change in y / change in x = Δy / Δx
(the triangle Δ is the greek letter delta, and means "change in")
To work out the "change in" something, you subtract one from the other.
Let's say Point A = (-3, 4) and Point B = (2, -1)
To find the change in y, you take the two y values of the two points, and subtract one from the other. (Technically you could do it either way, but let's do A subtract B)
The y value of A is 4, and the y value of B is -1
4 - -1 = 4 + 1 = 5 = change in y
To work out the change in x, you do the same but with the x values.
The x value of A is -3, and the x value of B is 2
-3 - 2 = -5 = change in x
Now we substitute these numbers into the equation:
gradient = change in y / change in x = 5 / -5 = -1
So the answer is a gradient of -1
I hope this helps!
