Question

A line passes through the points (-10,-4) and (-1,2). What is the slope of the line that passes through the two points?

Answer 1

slope is given by (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the points :)

Answer 2

I don't understand....

Answer 3

Can you help me understand it a little better?

Answer 4

For example take points (3.4) ,(5,6)

Slope=y difference/x difference
=(6-4)/(5-3)
=2/2=1

Answer 5

Apply the same concept here.
