Question

Find the slope of the line that would pass

through the ordered pairs below.
(-4,-52) and (-1, -22)

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Here we go!

Slope Formula:

`\frac{ {y}^(2) - {y}^(1) }{ {x}^(2) - {x}^(1) }`

What we know: (-4, -52) and (-1, -22)

Plug in the numbers!

`( - 52 - ( - 22))/( - 4 - ( - 1))`

Fix it!

`( - 52 + 22)/( - 4 + 1)`

Add

`( - 30)/( - 3)`

Divide

(negative divided by a negative is a positive!!)

Slope is 10

Hope this helps!
