Question

find the slope if is exists to the pair containing the pair of points (-4,-10) and (-5,-11)

Answer 1

I think the first 'pair' should be 'line' ?

Do you know the formula for the slope of a line given two points?

Answer 2

I am not sure

Answer 3

\[Slope = {y_2 - y_1 \over x_2 - x_1}\]

Where (x1,y1) is one point and (x2,y2) is the other point.

Answer 4

this is what I was doing, (-4,-10)(-5,-11)

Subtract 10 from -4, to get -14.
(-14)(-5,-11)

Subtract 11 from -5, to get -16.
(-14)(-16)

Multiply -14 by -16 to get 224.
(224)

Remove the parentheses around the expression 224.
224

Answer 5

so is it completely wrong

Answer 6

you want the change in y divided by the change in x. y starts at -10 and goes to -11 so it has changed -1. x starts at -4 and goes to -5 so it changes by -1. Then you have -1/-1=1

Answer 7

dvl im not sure exactly what you were doing

Answer 8

I'm pretty sure this is some kind of math troll. He's trying to multiply the x part of the point to the y part, then multiply those two products together.

Answer 9

Which is nothing like what I said.

Answer 10

yeah i'm very confused. Well you gave the correct formula so nothing else to do.
