What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (-4, -1), (-2, -5) #?

Answer 1

-2

formula of slope #,m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2),#, where #(x_1,y_1) and(x_2,y_2)# are two points. so #,m=(-1-(-5))/(-4-(-2))=4/-2=-2,#

The slope of the line passing through the points (-4, -1) and (-2, -5) can be calculated using the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plugging in the coordinates:

m = (-5 - (-1)) / (-2 - (-4)) m = (-5 + 1) / (-2 + 4) m = -4 / 2 m = -2

So, the slope of the line passing through these points is -2.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
