Question

Find the slope using (-19,12) and (-9,1)

Answer 1

Slope = -13/10

Explanation:

In order to find a slope of an equation, you must use the equation for a slope:

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Use the provided coordinates in order to plug in the x and y values:

(-19, 12)

(-9, 1)

y2 = 12

y1 = 1

x2 = -19

x1 = -9

( 12 - 1) / (-19 - -9) = (13) / (-19 + 9) = 13 / -10 = -13/10
