Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7,-4) and (-11,-2)? In simplest form

Answer 1

Slope=-1/2

Explanation:

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

A(-7,-4).... x1 =-7,y1 =-4

B(-11,-2)... x2=-11,y1=-2

Slope=(-2-(-4))/(-11-(-7))

Slope=(-2+4)/(-11+7)

Slope=2/(-4)

Slope=-1/2
