Question

Find the slope of the line containing the pair of points.
(4. - 10) and (7.-9)

Answer 1

3/1

Explanation:

the slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1

so this would be -9- -10/7-4

since it's a negative minus a negative, it turns into a plus so the final equation would be -9+10/7-4

the final answer would be 3/1, or just 3 :) hope this helps

Answer 2

Slope =
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

( 4, -10 )

( 7, -9 )

Slope formula =
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

`(-9 - ( -10 ))/(7 - 4)` =
`(-9 + 10)/(7-4)`

`(1)/(3)`

Slope =
`(1)/(3)`
