Question

Given line 1, with coordinates (-7,-3) and (4,7), and line

2 with coordinates (7,-7) and (-3, 4), find the slope of line 2

Answer 1

-11/10 (fraction) or -1.1 (decimal)

Explanation:

The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 7

x2 = -3

y1 = -7

y2 = 4

So, it’s: (4 - (-7))/(-3-7)

= (4+7)/(-3-7)

= (11)/(-10)

= -11/10 or -1.1

I hope this helps!
