Question

(-19, -6) and (15, 16) find the slope?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope is defined as the rise/ run. If a line passes through any two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1) then the slope m is given by

`m=\frac{y_1-y_0_{}_{}}{x_1-x_0}`

Now, in our case (x0, y0) = ( -19, 6) and (x1, y1) = (15, 16); therefore, the slope is

`m=\frac{16-6}{15--19_{}}`

Simplifying the above gives

`m=(5)/(17)`

which is our answer!
