5. What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2.4, −3.2) and (−2.4, 3.1)? Show your work below.
The formula to find the slope of a line passing through two points is:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points:
slope = (3.1 - (-3.2)) / (-2.4 - 2.4)
= 6.3 / (-4.8)
= -1.3125
