Question

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line between each pair of points.

$\left(3,-6\right),\left(2,-2\right)$.

Short answer

Slope of the line is$-4$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

Given points are$\left(3,-6\right),\left(2,-2\right)$.

Step 2. Finding the Slope.

Here $\left(x_1,y_1\right)=\left(3,-6\right)$and$\left(x_2,y_2\right)=\left(2,-2\right)$.

By using slope formula, we have

$\begin{array}{rcl}m& =& \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ & =& \frac{-2-\left(-6\right)}{2-3}\\ & =& \frac{4}{-1}\\ & =& -4\end{array}$

Therefore slope of the line is $-4$.
