To help solve this, we need to use the slope formula.
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We get these values by picking two points on a line.
For JL, we will pick points (-5, -3) and (-2, -4).
y1 = -4
y2 = -3
x1 = -2
x2 = -5.
Let's plug these into our formula.
(-3) - (-4) / (-5) - (-2) = -1/3
For LN, we will pick points (-2, -4) and (7, -7).
y1 = -7
y2 = -4
x1 = 7
x2 = -2.
Lets plug these values into our equation.
(-4) - (-7) / (-2) - (7) = -1/3
Therefore,
(-3) - (-4) / (-5) - (-2) = (-4) - (-7) / (-2) - (7)
The correct answer is G.
