Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-38, 100) and (-37, 5).

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(-38, 100) and (-37, 5). \\ x1 = - 38 \\ y1 = 100 \\ x2 = - 37 \\ y2 = 5`

`m \: = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ m \: = (5 - 100)/( - 37 - 38) \\ m = ( - 95)/( - 75)`

`m = (19)/(15)`

Answer 2

The slope between two points is: (change in Y) / (change in X) .

Slope = (-95) / (1)

Slope = -95
