Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6, 6) and (4. – 7).
postnew [5]

Answer:

\displaystyle -\frac{13}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to use the slope formula of \displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

y2= (-7)

y1=6

x2=4

x1(-6)

Solve.

\displaystyle \frac{(-7)-6}{4-(-6)}=\frac{-13}{10}=\boxed{-\frac{13}{10}}

Therefore, the correct answer is -13/10.
