Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-14,13) and (7,0)

Answer 1

slope = -
`(13)/(21)`

Explanation:

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ , y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 14, 13) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, 0)

m =
`(0-13)/(7+14)` =
`(-13)/(21)` = -
`(13)/(21)`
