Question

Find the slope of the pair of points. (-8, -1) (-18, 2)

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Lesson: Exploring Slope/Slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

m: slope

b: y-intercept.

Rise/run

`(rise)/(run)`

Slope formula:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)`

`m=(2-(-1)=2+1=3)/((-18)-(-8)=(-18)+8=-10)=(3)/(-10)=-(3)/(10)`

Answer:
`(3)/(-10)`

Slope is 3.

Y-intercept is -10 or 10.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

slope= -3/10

Explanation:

Change in y/Change in x

-1-2/-8--18

-1-2=-3

-8+18=10

=-3/10
