The slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Points given = ( -10, -8) and ( -8, -16)
Slope = ?
( -10, -8 ) : x1 = -10 and y1 = -8
( -8, -16 ) : x2 = -8 and y2 = -16
We know,
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Slope = -16 - ( -8) / -8 - (-10)
slope = -16 + 8 / -8 + 10
slope = -8 / 2
slope = -4
Therefore, slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.
