Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (100, 36) and (34, 74)

Answer 1

m = -19/33

Slope equation = y = -19/33x + b

Answer 2

`-(19)/(33)`

Explanation:

The equation for slope is:

`Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We can plug in the given coordinates into the equation:

`Slope= (74-36)/(34-100)=(38)/(-66)=-(19)/(33)`
