Question

What is the slope of a line that includes the points (–4, 1) and (10, –6)?

Answer 1

Answer: it is 14

Step-by-step explanation: The slope is 14 because if -4,1 is on one side and the other number is on the other side that you just have to count the units in the inside and find how many numbers does it take to get to 10,-6. Your welcome

Answer 2

-
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The slope of a given point;

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

From question;

(-4,1) = (x₁, y₁)

(10,-6)= (X₂, y₂)

Where y₂ = -6, y₁= 1, x₂= 10, x₁=-4

Therefore;

m=
`((-6)-1)/(10-(-4))`

m=
`(-7)/(14)`

m=
`-(1)/(2)`
