Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points. (11, 1) (-7, 18)

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{11}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{18}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{18-1}{-7-11}\implies \cfrac{17}{-18}$

Answer 2

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: $m=\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}$

Rise/run.

$\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{18-1=17}{(-7)-11=-18}=\frac{17}{-18}$

Answer: $=\frac{17}{-18}$

Slope is $\frac{17}{-18}$

Hope this helps!
