Answer:
= (-3)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Compute the slope of the line through the following points:
p_1 = (-2, 6) and p_2 = (-4, 9)
The slope of the line through (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is:
(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
Substitute (x_1, y_1) = (-2, 6) and (x_2, y_2) = (-4, 9):
= (9 - 6)/(-4 - -2)
9 - 6 = 3:
= 3/(-4 - -2)
-(-2) = 2:
= 3/(-4 + 2)
-4 + 2 = -2:
= 3/(-2)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 3/(-2) by -1:
Answer: = (-3)/2
