Question

Find the slope of the line that contains (10,-1) and (-8, 6)

Answer 1

answer:
-7/18

Step 1: Remember the equation for slope using points

M= y2-y1/x2-x1

Step 2: Determine which numbers are which y and x

10: x1
-1: y1
-8: x2
6: y2

Step 3: Substitute these numbers into the equation

y2-y1/ x2-x1

6- -1/-8-10

Step 4: Solve for slope

6- -1/ -8 -10

7/ -18

-7/18

Answer 2

Explanation:

slope = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

= 6 - [-1] / -8-10

= 6 + 1 / -8-10

= 7/ - 18

= - 7/18
