Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points ( 16, -1 ) and ( -4, 10 )?

a) -20/11


b) -11/20


c) 11/20


d) 20/11

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`(10-(-1)=10+1=11)/((-4)-16=-20)=(11)/(-20)=-(11)/(20)`

Slope is -11/20

Answer is -11/20

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

Slope = 10-(-1))/(-4 - 16) = 11/-20 = -11/20

Answer is B
