Question

What is the slope of the line through (-7,-2)
and (-6, 7)?

Answer 1

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

In this case...

`y_(2) =7\\y_(1) =-2\\x_(2) =-6\\x_(1) =-7`

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

`(7-(-2))/(-6 - (-7))`

`(9)/(1)`

OR

9

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!
