Question

Given the points (3, -1) and (-10, 9) find the slope.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(9+1)/(-10-3)= -10/13

Answer 2

First, let's label each coordinate of the points with x1, y1 and x2, y2

Our first point: (3, -1). 3 is x1 and -1 is y1

Our second point: (-10, 9). -10 is x2 and 9 is y2.

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's plug our values into the slope formula above.

Slope = (9 - (-1)) / (-10 - 3) = 10/-13 or -10/13
