What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = –2/3 – 5x

The equation is of the form y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c just a constant. In this example, m=-5 and c=-2/3, so the slope is -5. The -2/3 is just a vertical offset and is irrelevant.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 8) and (-10, 14)

vesna_86 [32]

Hello!

To find the slope we divide the difference of the y-values by the difference of the x-values as shown below.

$\frac{14-8}{-10+2} = -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}$

The slope of our line is -3/4.

I hope this helps!
