Question

A line contains the points S (4, -10) and B (10, -16). Find the slope of ̅̅̅̅SB. Must show your work to receive full credit.

Answer 1

The slope is -1

Explanation:

To find the slope when we have 2 points, we can use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-16--10)/(10-4)

= (-16+10)/(10-4)

= -6/6

= -1

The slope is -1
