SOLUTION: Find the slope (-1/3,-2) and (1,-4) I have so far m= -4-(-2)/1-(-1/3) When I work it out I come out with m=-2/3 but the answer should actually be m=-3/2.. Can you show me how

Question 485541: Find the slope
(-1/3,-2) and (1,-4)
I have so far m= -4-(-2)/1-(-1/3)
When I work it out I come out with m=-2/3 but the answer should actually be m=-3/2.. Can you show me how to get to that answer... I can not figure it out... Thanks

Find the slope
(-1/3,-2) and (1,-4)
----------------
m = (-2 + 4)/(-1/3 - 1) = 2/(-4/3) = -2/(4/3) = -2*(3/4)
m = -3/2
