Question

Help!
Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points. If the line is horizontal or vertical, state that.

(-2, 5), (8, -4)

Answer 1

Do you know how to find slope?

Answer 2

Use m for slope:
\[m=\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

Answer 3

okay...

Answer 4

Use the slope formula..

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Plug in the points:

\(m = \dfrac{-4-5}{8+2}\)

Simplify that.

Answer 5

-0.8 @iGreen

Answer 6

waittt

Answer 7

Actually you made a mistake..

Answer 8

oops hold on

Answer 9

-0.9?

Answer 10

Yes, that's your slope.. -0.9 or \(-\dfrac{9}{10}\)
