Slope Formula

Question 2

Given the points A and B where A is at coordinates ( 0, 2 )
and B is at coordinates ( - 1, - 4), find the slope of the line passing through the points A and B.

Solution

Label the points as x1 = 0, y1 = 2, x2 = -1, and y2 = -4.

To find the slope m of the line passing through the points A and B, use the slope formula :Solution to Question 2

So, m = 6.
