Slope of a Line given points (-4, 6) and (2, -2)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -4  y₁ = 6,  x₂ = 2  y₂ = -2
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  m  =  m  =  m  =  –    (Greatest Common Factor of 8 and 6, GCF(8, 6) = 2)m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-4, 6) and (2, -2) is equal to  –

4/3

Note: As a decimal number,  –   ≈ -1.3333333333333
