Question

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points. (−10, 4), (2, −5)

Answer 1

answer:
`m = -(3)/(4)`

work:

slope formula ==>
`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

plug the points in according to the formula

`m = (-5-4 )/(2-(-10))`

`m = -(9)/(12)`

`m = -(3)/(4)` <== simplified, and final answer :)

hope this helps! ❤ from peachimin

Answer 2

M= change in y /change in x

(−10, 4), (2, −5)

M= -5-4/2-(-10)

M= -9/12

M- 3/4

Slope is - 3/4
