Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. (-3, 1 )and (-17, 2)​

Answer 1

1/-14 or 1 over - 14

Explanation:

The equation you need is: y2-y1 over x2-x1

So if you plug it in it becomes 2-1 over -17 -(-3) so 2 - 1 is 1 that's the easy part, 17 - (-3) is the hard part because you can't minus a negative. So it becomes -17+3 which is still -14 because you take the sign of the bigger number. Sorry if it's hard to understand :(
