Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (-2,-1) and (8,-3)

Answer 1

For finding slope

we have the formula

m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

x1 = (-2)

x2. = ( 8)

y1. = (-1)

y2 =(-3)

putting the value of this in the formula we get,

m = (-3)-(-1)/8-(-2)

m = (-3+1)/8 + 2.

m = (-2)/10

m = (-1)/5.

m = (-1)/5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Using slope m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 to find the solution slope that passes through those two-point.

Point-slope form into y-intercept form.
