Question

How do you find the slope of the points: (19,-16),(-7,-15)?

Answer 1

`\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{(1)/(26) }}`

Explanation:

SLOPE FORMULA:

`\longrightarrow \displaystyle \mathsf{(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1) }}`

Y₂=(-15)

Y₁=(-16)

X₂=(-7)

X₁=19

Solve.

`\displaystyle \mathsf{((-15)-(-16))/((-7)-19)=((-15)+16)/((-7)-19)=(1)/(-26)=\boxed{\mathsf{(1)/(26)} }   }}}}`

So, the slope is 1/26.
