Question

What is the slope between (-2,-19) and (-12,11)

Answer 1

m = -3

Explanation:

The slope is rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We see the y increase by 30 and the x decrease by 10, so the slope is

-30/10 = -3

So, m = -3

Answer 2

Slope = -3

Explanation:

Formula of slope,

→ Slope(m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now the slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (11 -(-19))/(-12 -(-2))

→ m = (11 + 19)/(-12 + 2)

→ m = 30/-10

→ m = -(30/10)

→ [ m = -3 ]

Hence, the slope is -3.
