Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–2, 15) and (–8, –5)? A. -10/3 B. -5/2 C. 5/2 D. 10/3

Answer 1

Hey there Jacemorris!
In order to do this, we must use our slope given two points formula:
y2-y1/x2-x1
We'll plug in our values:
-5-15/-8-(-2)
Remember subtracting a negative is adding, so we have:
-5-15/-8+2 =
-5-15/-6 =
-20/-6
Hope this helps!
