Question

Find the slope given the following two points: (16,3) and (14, -19)

Answer 1

the slope m=11

Explanation:

(To find the slope use the equation m=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`)

(16,3), where 16=x1 and 3=y1

(14,-19), where 14=x2 and -19=y2

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

=
`(-19-3)/(14-16)`

=
`(-22)/(-2)`

(simplify)

=11
