Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, -4) and (-11, -2) write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

We can find slope $m$ with this formula

$m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}$

Where $\Delta{y}=y_2-y_1=-2-(-4)=2$ and $\Delta{x}=x_2-x_1=-11-(-7)=-4$ thus

$m=-\dfrac{2}{4}=\boxed{-\dfrac{1}{2}}$

The slope of line is -1/2.

Hope this helps.
