Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (-10,14) and (-6,12).

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-10,14) and (-6,12)

y2 = 12, y1 = 14, x2 = -6, x1 = -10

Slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12 - 14)/(-6 + 10)

m = -2/4

m = -1/2

The equation of line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 14 = -1/2(x + 10)

y - 14 = -x/2 - 5

y = -x/2 - 5 + 14

y = -x/2 + 9
