Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,15) and (-8,-5)

Answer 1

= 1/30

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5-15)/(-8--2)

= (-5-15)/(-8+2)

= -20/-6

= 10/3

Answer 2

= 10/3

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5-15)/(-8--2)

= (-5-15)/(-8+2)

= -20/-6

= 10/3
