What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2. 4, - 3.2) and (- 2.4
,3.1) ?
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the given points:
slope = (3.1 - (-3.2)) / (-2.4 - 2.4)
slope = (3.1 + 3.2) / (-4.8)
slope = 6.3 / -4.8
The slope of the line passing through the given points is approximately -1.3125.
