Question

What's the slope of a line that passes through (-8,-16) and (18,5)?​

Answer 1

C. 21/26

Explanation:

Slope is determined by the change (or difference) in the y-coordinates divided by the change (or difference) in the x-coordinates.

Here, our y-coordinates are -16 and 5, so:

5 - (-16) = 5 + 16 = 21

Our x-coordinates are -8 and 18, so:

18 - (-8) = 18 + 8 = 26

Now, we divide: 21/26.

The answer is thus C.

Answer 2

C. 21/26

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Plug in our coordinates:

m = (5 + 16)/(18 + 8)

m = 21/26
