Question

Find the slope, if it exists, of the line containing the pair of points.
(-14, -6) (-17, -16)

Answer 1

Remember that the slope of a line is the change in y (rise) divided by the change in x (run).

Answer 2

slope : 3/10..

Answer 3

Use the formula:

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

Answer 4

so the answer if -10 over -3

Answer 5

Mind your signs. You can also draw the points to verify that the slope of the line is positive.
