Hey there!
₂ ₁
The formula m = y₂ – y₁ / x₂ – x₁
GUIDE for you to go by!
Y₂ = 3
Y₁ = 2
X₂ = –4
X₁ = 1
Equation:
3 – 2 / –4 – 1
• SOLVING for your NUMERATOR (TOP number) (y-intercept) : 3 – 2 = 1
• SOLVING for your DENOMINATOR (BOTTOM number)(x–intercept) : –4 – 1 = –5 (we get the –5 because we STARTED at –4 on the NUMBER LINE and we went UP ONE space)
Answer: ⬇️
1/–5 (or you could SIMPLY say –0.20 because they BOTH EQUAL the SAME thing!)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
