Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points , −7−7 and , −36.

Answer 1

m=(13/4)

Explanation:

(6-(-7) divided into -3-(-7) =13/4

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

`m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}`

We have the following points:

`(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 7, -7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3,6)`

Substituting we have:

`m = \frac {6 - (- 7)} {- 3 - (- 7)} = \frac {6 + 7} {- 3 + 7} = \frac {13} {4}`

Thus, the slope of the line is:
`\frac {13} {4}`

Answer:

`m = \frac {13} {4}`
