Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-1) and (-6,-2) write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: -1/2

Explanation:

slope is you know rise over run

which means the equation would look like
`(y)/(x)`, but since there's no graph and line showed up and only have two points given, you should subtract second point and first point (the order doesn't really matter tho), then
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, so

`(-2-(-1))/(-6-(-8))=(-1)/(2)`
