Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points.

(1,20) (-14,-3)
a. (1-5/23)
b. (23/14)
c. (-23/15)

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (1,20) and (-14,-3) is calculated using the slope formula and is 23/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (1,20) and (-14,-3), you use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Using the given points, we have:

• x1 = 1, y1 = 20
• x2 = -14, y2 = -3

Plugging these into the formula:

m = (-3 - 20) / (-14 - 1)

m = (-23) / (-15)

Therefore, the slope of the line is 23/15.
