Question

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points. (−10, 4), (2, −5)

Answer 1

M= change in y /change in x

(−10, 4), (2, −5)

M= -5-4/2-(-10)

M= -9/12

M- 3/4

Slope is - 3/4

Answer 2

answer:  $m = -\frac{3}{4}$

work:

slope formula ==> $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

plug the points in according to the formula

$m = \frac{-5-4 }{2-(-10)}$

$m = -\frac{9}{12}$

$m = -\frac{3}{4}$  <== simplified, and final answer :)
