Question

Find the slope
between the
following points:
(-7,0) and (-6,-10)

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Slope formula is:
`(y2+y1)/(x2-x1)`

So we plug in the numbers.

`(-10-0)/(-7-(-6))`=
`(-10)/(-1)`=10

Answer 2

`m=-10`

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-7, 0)

Point (-6, -10)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(-10-0)/(-6+7)`
2. Subtract/Add:
   `m=(-10)/(1)`
3. Divide:
   `m=-10`
