Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-26, -37) and (-32, -61)?

A) -6
B) 6
C) -12
D) 12

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (-26, -37) and (-32, -61) is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we use the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x).

Using the given points (-26, -37) and (-32, -61), the change in y is -61 - (-37) = -24, and the change in x is -32 - (-26) = -6. Therefore, the slope is -24 / -6 = 4.

Therefore, the correct answer choice is B) 6.
