Question 1

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.
(-8, – 15), (-2, 5)

Answer 1

20/6

Explanation:

To find slope, use
`m= (y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

(-8, – 15), (-2, 5)

x1 y1 x2 y2

*Remember, negative times negative equals positive*

`(5-(-15))/(-2-(-8))` =
`(20)/(6)`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The slope of the line will be 3.33
