how do you find the slope that passes through the points (0,-4) and (3,-2)
Divide the change in y by the change in x, between the two points.
That ratio is:
[-2 -(-4)] /(3 - 0)
which would be 2/3
i don't get how to use the points like how you even got to that... is it possible to explain that like how you get it??? i have a final in like two days please help!
To find the slope that passes through two given points, you can use the slope formula, which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
Given the points (0, -4) and (3, -2), let's label them as (x1, y1) = (0, -4) and (x2, y2) = (3, -2).
Substituting these values into the slope formula, we have:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (-2 - (-4)) / (3 - 0)
= (-2 + 4) / 3
= 2/3
Therefore, the slope that passes through the points (0, -4) and (3, -2) is 2/3.
