Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,-2) and (-10,-9)?

A) 878 sevenths
B) 111211 over 12
C) 121112 over 11
D) 78

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 7/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line that contains two points, we can use the formula:

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

Let's plug in the coordinates of the two given points (-2,-2) and (-10,-9) into the formula:

m = (-9 - (-2))/(-10 - (-2)) = (-9 + 2)/(-10 + 2) = -7/-8 = 7/8

So, the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,-2) and (-10,-9) is 7/8.
