Question

Find the slope between the
following points:
(-1,19) and (11,16)

Answer 1

- 1/4

Explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Given

x1 = -1

y1 = 19

x2 = 11

y2 = 16

Therefore,

slope = 16 - 19/11 - (-1)

= 16 - 19/11 + 1

= -3/12

= - 1/4

Answer 2

Slope =-1/4

Explanation:

y=mx+n

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

A(-1,19).... x1 =-1, y1=19

B(11,16)..... x2=11, y2=16

Slope=(16-19)/(11-(-1))=(-3)/(11+1)=-3/12=-1/4
