Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points

(7, -9) and (15, -29)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-29-(-9))/(15-7)

m=(-29+9)/8

m=-20/8

simplify

m=-5/2

Answer 2

-5/2

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-29-(-9))/(15-7)

m=(-29+9)/8

m=-20/8

simplify

m=-5/2
