Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

The line passes through (-4, 7) and (-6,-4)

So, it's slope = rise/run

=> ∆y/∆x= (7+4)/(-4+6)= 11/2 = 5.5

Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

The slope (m) between two points is given by the formula ...

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

m = (-4 -7)/(-6 -(-4)) = -11/-2 = 5.5

The slope of the line through the given points is 5.5.
