Question

Fine the slope of the line through each pair of points . (-8,-20),(5,2)

Answer 1

Hello username!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
`y=mx+b`

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

rise/run

`m=(rise)/(run)`

`m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

`x^1,y^1=(-8,-20)`

`x^2,y^2=(5,2)`

`(2-(-20)=2+20=22)/(5-(-8)=5+8=13)=(22)/(13)`

But the slope is 22/13.

Answer:
`\boxed{=22/13}`

Hope this helps!

Thank you :)

Answer 2

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (-8, -20) and (5, 2). Substitute:

`m=(2-(-20))/(5-(-8))=(22)/(13)`

Answer: The slope is
`(22)/(13)`
