Question

6

Find the slope of the line that passes through
(-4, 7) and (-6,-4)
b) -2/11
a) 2/11
d) -11/2
c) 11/2

Answer 1

c) 11/2

Explanation:

(-4, 7) and (-6, -4)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-4 - 7) / (-6 - (-4))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-11) / (-6 + 4)

= (-11) / (-2)

Simplify the fraction.

-11/-2

= 11/2

This is your slope.

Hope this helps!
