Question

1. What is the slope of the line through the points (-6, 3) and (-7, -4)? o 1

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ 7}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( -6 , 3 ) ⇒ ( x₁ , y₁ )

B ( -7 , -4 )⇒ ( x₂ , y₂ )

Now, let's find the slope:

$\mathsf{\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}}$

Plug the values

⇒$\mathsf{ \frac{ - 4 - 3}{ - 7 - ( - 6)} }$

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

⇒$\mathsf{ \frac{ - 4 - 3}{ - 7 + 6}}$

Calculate

⇒$\mathsf{ \frac{ - 7}{ - 1} }$

Any expression divided by -1 equals it's opposite

⇒$\mathsf{7}$

Hope I helped!
