Question

(-13,2)(-17,9) find the slope of the line through each pair of points

Answer 1

Answer: -7/4

Work Shown:

`(x_1,y_1) = (-13,2) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (-17,9)\\\\m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))\\\\m = (9 - 2)/(-17 - (-13))\\\\m = (9 - 2)/(-17 + 13)\\\\m = (7)/(-4)\\\\m = -(7)/(4)\\\\`

A slope of -7/4 means that we move down 7 and to the right 4.
