Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1,1) and (1,-15)​

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\boxed{\text{The slope is -8.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line, you have to use a slope formula.

Slope formula:

$\Longrightarrow:\sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} }$

⇒ y2=(-15)

⇒ y1=1

⇒ x2=1

⇒ x1=(-1)

Rewrite the whole problem down.

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{-15-1}{1-\left(-1\right)}=\dfrac{-16}{2}=\boxed{\sf{-8}}$

• So, the slope is -8, which is our answer.
