Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (7,-14)

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

Using the formula above,

slope of line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 14)}{ - 3 - 7} \\ = \frac{1 + 14}{ - 10} \\ = \frac{15}{ - 10} \\ = - \frac{3}{2}$
