Question

Can someone explain to me how to do this? (-6, -1) (11, -18) I need to find the slope and the (x1 - x2) thing

(y1 - y2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(-6,-1)\ \ \ \ (11,-18)\\\displaystyle\\x_1=-6\ \ \ \ x_2=11\\x_1-x_2=-6-11\\x_1-x_2=-17\\\\y_1=-1\ \ \ \ y_2=-18\\y_1-y_2=-1-(-18)\\y_1-y_2=-1+18\\y_1-y_2=17\\\\The\ slope=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2) \\\\The\ slope=(17)/(-17) \\\\The\ slope=-1`
