Find the slope of a line that passes through the two points (-3, 4) and (3, -4) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do it like this one:
-----------------------
Given 2 points example.
This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points.
slope, m = diffy/diffx
m = (5-1)/(3-2)
m = 4
---------
Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept.
y = mx + b
5 = 4*3 + b
b = -7
-------
y = mx + b
y = 4x - 7 is the answer.
