  • Coordinates (x, y)

Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-3, -2)

Point (2, -4)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                              [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{-4 + 2}{2 + 3}[/tex]
  2. Simplify:                                                                                                            [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{-2}{5}[/tex]
