Question

what is the slop of the line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (-14,-5)? write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

2 / 3

Explanation:

( x1, y1 ) = ( - 2, 3 )

Here,

x1 = - 2

y1 = 3

( x2, y2 ) = ( - 14, - 5 )

Here,

x2 = - 14

y2 = - 5

Formula : -

Slope = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

Slope = ( - 5 - 3 ) / ( - 14 - ( - 2 ) )

= - 8 / ( - 14 + 2 )

= - 8 / - 12

Slope = 2 / 3
