Question

find the slop of the line that passes through the giving points.

(-13,7) and (17,-11)

Answer 1

-11-7/17+13 =-17/30

Answer 2

slope is the change in y values over the change in x values

\[\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}\]

Answer 3

subtract your points and stack y/x

(-13, 7)
-( 17,-11)
----------
-30, 18; slope = y/x = -18/30 = -9/15
