Question

Find the slope of a line that goes through (7,-7) and (8,-13)

Answer 1

The slope of (7,-7) and (8,-13) is -6
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-13+7)/(8-7)
m=-6/1
m=-6

Answer 2

-6

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

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

Here, the two points are (7, -7) and (8, -13), so we can substitute these values into the formula:

m = (-13 - (-7)) / (8 - 7)

m = (-13 + 7) / 1

m = -6

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (7, -7) and (8, -13) is -6.
