Question

Find the slope of the line

Answer 1

B,
`-(3)/(14)`

Explanation:

Use the equation below:

`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Insert the values, with the first equation being equation 1 and the second equation being equation 2.

`(2-5)/(11-(-3))\\`

`(-3)/(14)\\`

`-(3)/(14)`

Answer 2

Slope =
`-(3)/(14)`

Explanation:

We know that:

X₁ = -3

Y₁ = 5

X₂ = 11

Y₂ = 2

And the formula of the slope is:

Slope =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Therefore:

Slope =
`(2-5)/(11-(-3))`

Slope =
`-(3)/(14)`

Hope this helps!
