Question

What is the slope of the line passing thtough the points A(7, -6) and B(-4, -3)?

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

This question it's just like a slope-intercept form.

$m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

$x^1,y^1=(7,-6)$

$x^2,y^2=(-4,-3)$

$\frac{(-3)-(-6)=3}{(-4)-7=-11}= \frac{3}{-11}$

Slope is 3/-11

Answer: → $\boxed{- 3/11}$

Hope this helps!

Thank you :)

Answer 2

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points A(7, -6) and B(-4, -3). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-3-(-6)}{-4-7}=\dfrac{3}{-11}=\boxed{-\dfrac{3}{11}}$
