Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3)(−3,−3) and (-18, -23) ?(−18,−23)? Write your answer in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________

Step (1)

To find the slope of linear functions using two points, we have the following equation :

$slope = \frac{y(b) - y(a)}{ x(b) - x(a) }$

Where a and b are two point of the function.

Step (2)

Well now I want to choose a name for the given points :

a = ( -3 , -3 ) ••••••••• b = ( -18 , -23 )

_________________________________

Step (3)

It's time to put the the coordinates in the above equation :

$slope = \frac{ - 23 - ( - 3)}{ - 18 - ( - 3)}$

$slope = \frac{ - 23 + 3}{ - 18 + 3 }$

$slope = \frac{ - 20}{ - 15}$

Negatives simplified :

$slope = \frac{20}{15}$

The face and denominator are reduced to five :

$slope = \frac{4}{3}$
