Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7,-5) and (4,-3).

Answer 1

Answer: 2/11

Explanation:

Answer 2

Our answer is m = 2/11.

`\Large\texttt{Explanation}`

We are asked to find the slope of the line through the following two points:

(-7,-5) and (4,-3)

Use the slope formula:

`\sf{m=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}`

Substitute the values:

`\sf{m=\cfrac{-3-(-5)}{4-(-7)}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{-3+5}{4+7}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{2}{11}}`

`\therefore` m = 2/11
