Question

Find the slope of line that contains the points (-4,-13) and (8,5).

Answer 1

Let's put it into the slope formula:

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

5-(-13)/ 8-(-4)

Correct signs. (two negatives equal a positive)

5+13/ 8+4

18/12

Simplify.

9/6

3/2 or 1.5.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

We can use y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope. Therefore, we have:
-5-(-13)/8-(-4). That gives us -5+13/8+4, or 8/12 = 2/3.
Hope this helps!
