Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through the following 2 points?
(810) -7,14)

Answer 1

m = -15/4

Explanation:

Going from (-7, 14) to (8, 10), we see x increasing by 15 and y decreasing by 4. Thus the slope of the line through these two points is

m = rise/run = 15/(-4), or m = -15/4
