Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 4) and (-5, -6).

-2/7
10/3 is my answer, am I correct?
-2/3

Answer 1

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-2,4) x1 = -2 and y1 = 4
(-5,-6) x2 = -5 and y2 = -6
now we sub
slope = (-6-4) / (-5-(-2))
slope = -10/(-5 + 2)
slope = -10/-3 = 10/3
you are correct :)

Thanks

Answer 3

no problem...you knew what you were doing :)

Answer 4

Can you help me with another?

Answer 5

I can try

Answer 6

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 4 - 3x.


-3/8
-8/3
2

Answer 7

you need to put it in y = mx + b form where m is your slope
8y = -3x + 4 -- divide by 8
y = -3/8x + 1/2

slope is -3/8
