4) Find the slope of the line that runs through these points.
(-10, -2), (5,0)

Answer 1

slope = 1/4

Explanation:

The slope of a line is defined by the rise (change in y-value)/run (change in x-value. The change in y-value is 0 - (-2) = 0 + 2 = 2. The change in x-value is -2 - (-10) = -2 + 10 = 8. Therefore, the slope is 2/8 or (simplified) 1/4.
