Question

Find the slope of the straight line passing through the points $(3,-2)$ and $(-1,4)$.

Answer 1

Slope of the straight line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by
$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Slope of the straight line passing through the points $(3,-2)$ and $(-1,4)$ is
$m=\frac{4+2}{-1-3}=-\frac{3}{2}$
