Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points

(14,20), (19,4)

Answer 1

-3.2

Explanation:

The formula for the slope between two points is:

`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

If we substitute the given points into the formula, we get:

`m= (20 - 4)/(14 - 19)=-3.2`

Answer 2

m = -16/5

Explanation:

The slope is given by the formula

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

= (4-20)/(19-14)

= -16/5
