Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, minus, 1, comma, minus, 7, right bracket ( − 1 , − 7 ) (−1,−7) and left bracket, 1, comma, minus, 13, right bracket ( 1 , − 13 ) (1,−13)

Answer 1

slope = -3

Explanation:

slope = m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = [-13 - (-7)]/[1 - (-1)]

m = -6/2

m = -3
