what is the slope line passing through (-3,1) and (-17,2)

Question

gudden · Answer

Do you know the formula used to find the slope ?

anonymous · Answer

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

anonymous · Answer

m=(2-1)/(-17--3)=1/(-17+3)=1/-14

And.. be careful next time.... don't feel pity :)

anonymous · Answer

slope is rise over run. so, find the climb in y and divide by run in x

gudden · Answer

Co-ordinates are represented as (X, Y)
And let me take (-3,1) and (-17,2) points as an example , whose slope we are supposed to find.

So, -3 is x co-ordinate and y co-ordinate is 1....
