Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through (–14,13) and (7,0)?

A. 21/13
B. -13/21
C. 13/21
D. -21/13

Answer 1

the answer is choice b.
y2-y1/x2-x1

0-13/ 7-(-14)
-13/7+14
-13/21

Answer 2

Option B is correct.

`-(13)/(21)`

Explanation:

Slope of the line that passes through the point is given by:

`\text{Slope} = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

As per the statement:

A line that passes through (–14,13) and (7,0)

then;

`\text{Slope} = (0-13)/(7-(-14))`

⇒
`\text{Slope} = (-13)/(7+14)`

⇒
`\text{Slope} = (-13)/(21)`

Therefore, the slope of a line that passes through (–14,13) and (7,0) is,
`-(13)/(21)`
