Question

A line contains the points (-26, -37) and (32, -61)

Answer 1

The slope of line through given points is -12/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(-26, -37) and (32, -61)

Let

(x1,y1) =(-26, -37)

And

(x2,y2) = (32, -61)

Slope (steepness) of a line, denoted by m, is given by the formula

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Putting the values

$m = \frac{-61-(-37)}{32-(-26)}\\\\=\frac{-61+37}{32+26}\\\\=\frac{-24}{58}\\\\=-\frac{12}{29}$

Hence,

The slope of line through given points is -12/29
