Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through:
(-4,7) and (-6, -4)

Answer 1

`(11)/(2)` or 5.5

Explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line using two points on a graph, you must use

`y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1`

Pluging in the points (-4,7) and (-6, -4) to the formula you will get:

`(-4-7)/(-6+4) =(-11)/(-2) =5.5`

The equation for the line would be
`(11)/(2)`x+29
