Question

how do I find the slope, if possible, if the line passing through each pair of points. (3/2,4) and ( -2,0 ).

Answer 1

The points are (3/2, 4) and (- 2, 0)

Slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Substitute the values of (x₁, y₁) = (3/2, 4) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 2, 0) in (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

Slope (m) = (0 - 4)/(- 2 - (3/2))

= - 4/(- 7/2)

= - 8/- 7

= 8/7.

Slope of the line is 8/7.
