Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-20, 18) and (30, 14)?

a) -0.1
b) -0.2
c) -0.25
d) -0.3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = ( y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (18-14) / ( -20 - 30) = 4/-50 = -0.08

I do not see your answer posted....did you enter the coordinates correctly?

Answer 2

The calculated slope of the line passing through the points (-20, 18) and (30, 14) is -0.08. There seems to be an error because this result does not match any of the options provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line that passes through two points can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-20, 18) and (30, 14), we can plug these values into the formula:

Slope = (14 - 18) / (30 - (-20))

Slope = (-4) / (50)

Slope = -0.08

However, this result is not listed in the options provided. It appears there might be a typo in the question or the options given. Please double-check your numbers. None of the provided answers a) -0.1 b) -0.2 c) -0.25 d) -0.3 matches with the calculation.
