Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through Point A (-1, -6) and Point B (-7, -3), using the formula m= y2-y1/x2-x1.​

Answer 1

Answer: 3 / -6

Explanation:

-3 - (-6) / -7 - - 1 = 3 / -6

The subtraction turns into addition because to “-“ equals “+” and if graphed the points will go up three units and six units to the left

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given A (-1, -6) and B (-7, -3)

Slope (m)

= y2-y1/x2-x1

= - 3 + 6 / - 7 + 1

= 3/-6

=-1/2

hope it helps :)
