Question

What is the slope of the line through (-7, -2) and (-6, 7)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle =9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is

$\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\displaystyle y_2=7\\\displaystyle y_1=(-2)\\\displaystyle x_2=(-6)\\\displaystyle x_1=(-7)$

$\frac{7-(-2)}{(-6)-(-7)}=\frac{9}{1}=9$

Therefore, the slope is 9, and the correct answer is 9.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Well the formula is Y2-Y1/X2-X1
So you do 7-(-2)/(-6)-(-7). Giving you 9/1 meaning 9 is most definitely your answer.I hope this helped.
