Whats the slope for (-2,4) and (10, -2)

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2-y1 over x2-x1

-2-4 over 10+2

which equals -6/12

which simplifies to -1/2

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula- m = y2 - y1

                                x2 - x1

x1,y1

-2, 4

x2,y2

10,-2                   -2 - 4

                           10 - (-2)  = -6/12 = -1/2
