Question

1 Determine the slope of the line given the 2 points. Point 1(19, -2) Point 2 (-11, 10) /5 © 23:21

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line, we need to use the following formula:

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

Where we have the x- and y-coordinates for the given points.

We can label the given points as follows:

Point 1:

(19, -2) ---> x1 = 19, y1 = -2.

Point 2:

(-11, 10) ---> x2 = -11, y2 = 10.

And now, we can apply the formula to find the slope of the line:

`m=(10-(-2))/(-11-19)\Rightarrow m=(10+2)/(-30)\Rightarrow m=(12)/(-30)=-(6)/(15)=-(2)/(5)`

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2/5.
