Question

PLEASE HELP!!! Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1,7) and (0,-3).​

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

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

m=(-3-7)/(0-(-1))

m=-10/(0+1)

m=-10/1

m=-10

Answer 2

The slope is -10.

Explanation:

Goal

• Find the value of m/Find the slope.

Given

• Two coordinate points which are (-1,7) and (0,-3).

Step 1

• Use the slope formula which is rise over run also known as changes of y over changes of x.

`\large \boxed{m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }`

From the given coordinate points, substitute the values in the formula.

`m = (7 - ( - 3))/( - 1 - 0) \\ m = (7 + 3)/( - 1) \longrightarrow (10)/( -1) \\ m = - 10`

Therefore, the value of m or slope is -10.
