What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) and (-4, 3)?
3
1/3
-1/3
-3

Slope = -⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the slope of a straight line is

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

The line passes through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3).

m = (3 - 2)/[-4 - (-1)]

    = 1/(-4 + 1)

    = -⅓

The slope of the line is -⅓.

The Figure below shows the graph of your line through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3) with a slope of -⅓.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
