Answer 1

Answer:

Point A: (-1, 5)

Point B: -2, 0

Step Two: To get from Point B to Point A, we must rise 4 and run 8? So using rise over run we have m= 14?

Answer 2

Point A: ( -1, 4 )

Point B: ( 1 ,0 )

To get from Point B to Point A, we must rise 4 and run -2 So using rise over run we have m = -2

Explanation:

After observing:

• Point A is (-1, 4)

• Point B is (1, 0)

And

$\sf slope \ (m) : \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} = \dfrac{rise}{run} \ \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points$

$\rightarrow \sf slope \ (m) = \dfrac{rise}{run} = \dfrac{4-0}{-1-1} = \dfrac{4}{-2} = -2$
