What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?

Mathematics

Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

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

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

Paha777 [63]
1 inch would equal 2 slices of bread.  
So there would be 24 slices in one foot.
multiply 1405 by 24 and you get 33720
so then add 3 to that from the 1 3/4
you know have 33723 1/2 slices of bread. because 3/4-1/2 would be 1/4 which is 1/2 a slice of bread.
so the answer would be 33723 1/2 slices of bread:)
