Question

Find the slope between the following two points: (-15, -7) and (5,-3) *

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 1/5x.

Step-by-step explanation:

I graphed the points on the graph below. Then, I found the slope by counting the number of spots right and up from the first point to the second point.

Answer 2

Answer:

= 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-3- -7)/(5--15)

    = (-3+7)/(5+15)

    = 4/20

    = 1/5
