Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -7)(7,−7) and (8, -13)(8,−13)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

slope = -6

Explanation:

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -7) and (8, -13)?

given points: (7, -7) and (8, -13)

slope = change in y / change in x

slope = (-7 - (-13)) / (7 - 8)

slope = (-7 + 13) / (7 - 8)

slope = 6 / -1

slope = -6
