Question

A line passes through the points (-3,4) and (-8,14). Find this line’s slope. If the slope does not exist, you may enter DNE or NONE.

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

`\boxed{ slope = (y _(1) - y_2 )/(x_1 - x_2) }`

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate

Slope

`= (14 - 4)/( - 8 - ( - 3))`

`= (10)/( - 8 + 3)`

`= (10)/( - 5)`

= -2
