What is the slope of the line passing through (-2, -3) and (4, 0)?

Hello! Slope is rise/run. The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. We have the points (-2, -3) (first) and (4, 0) (second). Let's find what the numbers represent and then solve.

y2: 0
y1: -3
x2: 4
x1: -2

It becomes set up as 0 - (-3) / 4 - (-2). 0 - (-3) is 3. 4 - (-2) is 6. Keep in minid that when you subtract a negative number, you are actually adding. 3/6 is 1/2 in simplest form. There. The slope is 1/2.
