    Answer:

    The slope of the line passing between these points is 1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    slope is equal to the difference vertically divided by the difference horizontally, moving left to right.

    In this case, (2, 3) is further left, so we’ll subtract (-4, 0) from that.

    (2, 3) – (-4, 0) =  (6, 3)

    So we know the displacement is (6, 3) and we need simply delete dy by dx:

    s = Δy/Δx

    s = 3/6

    s = 1/2

    So we have a slope of one half, describing a line that moves up, left at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal.

    Answer:

    slope = \frac{1}{2}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Calculate slope m using the slope formula

    m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

    with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 0)

    m = \frac{0-3}{-4-2} = \frac{-3}{-6} = \frac{1}{2}
