Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1,1) and (1,-15)​

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\text{The slope is -8.}}`

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, you have to use a slope formula.

Slope formula:

`\Longrightarrow:\sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }`

⇒ y2=(-15)

⇒ y1=1

⇒ x2=1

⇒ x1=(-1)

Rewrite the whole problem down.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{(-15-1)/(1-\left(-1\right))=(-16)/(2)=\boxed{\sf{-8}}`

• So, the slope is -8, which is our answer.
