Question

Identify the slope for (2,-1) and (10,-3).

Answer 1

You can find the slope using the following formula:

`\text{Slope}=m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}}{x_2-x_1}`

Where:

`\begin{gathered} (2,-1)=(x_1,y_1) \\ (10,-3)=(x_2,y_2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`m=(-3-(-1))/(10-2)=(-2)/(8)=-(1)/(4)=-0.25`
