Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points

ear Equations
(-2, - 8) and (-3, — 9)₂

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-9 + 8)/(-3 + 2)= -1/-1= 1

Answer 2

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-9}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-9}-\stackrel{y1}{(-8)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-3}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{-9 +8}{-3 +2}\implies \cfrac{-1}{-1}\implies 1`
