Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points plz

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-5))/(11 - 17) = 3/(-6) = -1/2

Answer 2

Slope=
`-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

When you are looking for slope you should use this
`slope=m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))` then just plug in what you already know.

`y_(1)=-5\\y_(2)=-2\\x_(1)=17\\x_(2)=11`

Now we insert it in the formula and solve to get the slope...

`(-2-(-5))/(11-17)=(3)/(-6)=-(1)/(2)`
