Question

What is the slope of -14,17 and -7,1

Answer 1

`-(15)/(24)`

Explanation:

Remember that m= slope. The point slope form is
`(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Plug in the second y value, 1, and the first y value, 17 into the numerator of the fraction. Then, plug the second x value, -7 and the first x value, -14, into the denominator. Your fraction should look like this:
`(1-(-14))/(-7-17)`

1-(-14) is 15 and -7-17= -24. You should now have a slope of
`-(15)/(24)`
