Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (20,-3) and (-10,7)

Answer 1

The slope between the two points is
`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

The formula for finding the slope between is
`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`.

We will use the given coordinate points.

y2 = 7

y1 = -3

x2 = -10

x1 = 20

Now, we will plug these values into our formula.

`m=(7-(-3))/(-10-20)`

`m=(10)/(-30)`

`m=-(1)/(3)`

So, the slope between the two slopes is
`-(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

-1/3

Explanation:

To find the slope we use

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

= (7 - -3)/(-10 -20)

= (7+3)/ -30

= 10/-30

= -1/3
