Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through: (-4,7) and (-6, -4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{11}{2}$ or 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line using two points on a graph, you must use

$y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1$

Pluging in the points (-4,7) and (-6, -4) to the formula you will get:

$\frac{-4-7}{-6+4} =\frac{-11}{-2} =5.5$

The equation for the line would be $\frac{11}{2}$x+29
