Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, -4) and (-11, -2) write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

We can find slope
`m` with this formula

`m=\frac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}`

Where
`\Delta{y}=y_2-y_1=-2-(-4)=2` and
`\Delta{x}=x_2-x_1=-11-(-7)=-4` thus

`m=-(2)/(4)=\boxed{-(1)/(2)}`

The slope of line is -1/2.

Hope this helps.
