Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, −10) (5, 3)

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-10})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-10)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{6}}} \implies \cfrac{ 3 +10 }{ -1 } \implies \cfrac{ 13 }{ -1 } \implies -13`
