Question

Given the points (10, 2) and (-7, -9) find the slope.

Answer 1

There's a standard, much-used formula for the slope of a line connecting 2 given points. Look up "slope" on the 'Net if need be. Apply that formula to the 2 given points. Pls show your work.

Answer 2

That more so what im looking for the slope intercept form.

Answer 3

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

where m is the gradient
the y2 y1 x2 x1 represent the values from the coordinates

Answer 4

I got -7/-17 and slope intercept is y=mx+b ? im so confused I havent done this is so long.

Answer 5

it is only asking for the slope

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

so you don't need slope intercept form

Answer 8

just use the formula I gave and that is your answer

Answer 9

perfect thank you so much!

Answer 10

for the record

-9-2=-11

Answer 11

so you should have

-11/-17

the negative sign cancels

11/17

Answer 12

I did -9-(-2) and got -7

Answer 13

your coordinate says (10,2)
that is a positive 2
hence it would be

-9-(2)

Answer 14

awhh I see it now, Thank you
