Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,6) and (4,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -13/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Madison, imagine that you're moving from (-6, 6) to (4, -7) with interest in knowing how much x (the run) and y (the rise) change.

In the first instance, x increases by 10 from -6 and +4.  Simultaneously, y decreases by 13 from 6 to -7.

Thus the slope is m = rise / run = m = -13/10
