The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the points (2.4, -3.2) and (-2.4, 3.1):
m = (3.1 - (-3.2)) / (-2.4 - 2.4)
m = (3.1 + 3.2) / (-4.8)
m = 6.3 / -4.8
m ≈ -1.313
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2.4, -3.2) and (-2.4, 3.1) is approximately -1.313.
6. What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2.4, -3.2) and (-2.4, 3.1)?
