Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-10,-8) and (-8,-16)?

Answer 1

To find the slope of this line we will use the slope formula, which is:

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

(Where
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` are points on the line)

To find our answer to this problem, we can simply substitute the values we are given:

`m = (-16 - (-8))/(-8 - (-10)) = (-16 + 8)/(-8 + 10) = (-8)/(2) = -4`

The slope of the line is -4.
