Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (-18, 13) and (-14, -20) *

Answer 1

The answer is

`- (33)/(4) \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-18, 13) and (-14, -20)

The slope is

`m = ( - 20 - 13 )/( - 14 - - 18) = ( - 33)/( - 14 + 18) = - (33)/(4) \\`

We have the final answer as

`- (33)/(4) \\`

Hope this helps you
