Need help in graphing. What is the slope in (-4, 3) and (1, -2)

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-01] [Hit: ]
Your graph should slope downwards from left to right because the gradient is negative.Hope this helps.this is fundamental !read your textbook.........
I graphed the line. How do I find the slope?

-
Slope = gradient

Formula for gradient:( y2-y1)/x2-x1)

In the case of your coordinates:

(-2-3)/(1-(-4)) = -5/5 = -1

Your graph should slope downwards from left to right because the gradient is negative.

Hope this helps.

-
slope = m = [change in y] / [change in x]

this is fundamental ! read your textbook...practice 1

[m = - 1]

-
y2-y1
-----------
x2-x1 -2-3=-5
1-(-4)=5 5/5 slope=1
