Question

Show all mathematical steps required to calculate slope given two points. To earn full credit you must provide, the slope formula, steps to simplifying, and stating the final result.

PT1 (-13, -4) PT2 (-9, -32)

Answer 1

• -7 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

where (x1, y1), (x2, y2) are coordinates/points

The given points are:

• PT1 (-13, -4), PT2 (-9, -32)

substitute these values:

`slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (-32-(-4))/(-9-(-13)) = (-32+4)/(-9+13) = (-28)/(4) = -7`
