Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (15,8) and (-17,9)

Answer 1

-1/32

Explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points, and simplify:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(9 - 8) / (-17 - 15)

1 / -32

= -1/32

So, the slope of the line is -1/32
