Question

find the slope of the line that passes through (74, 24) and (75, -25). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer. Thanks

Answer 1

fun one

the formula for slope is

y2-y1÷x2-x1

so

-71-(-75) = 4rise

and -45-9 = -54

so 4÷-54 simplify.

is your answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

(74 ,24)

x₁ = 74 ; y₁ = 24

(75 , -25) ; x₂ = 75 ; y₂ = -25

`Slope =(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\\\ =(-24-25)/(75-74)\\\\\\ =(-49)/(1)\\\\ = -49`
