Answer 1

What is the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (−2, −8)?

Answer 2

idk..do you know?

Answer 3

Use the slope formula

\[\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\]

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

tell me what you get

Answer 6

-8-7
m=-----
-2-3

Answer 7

good, keep going

Answer 8

-16

Answer 12

so you should have


-15
-----
-5

Answer 13

does that reduce?

Answer 14

-3

Answer 15

good

Answer 16

the slope of any line parallel to that will be equal

Answer 17

alright thank you
