Question

What is the slope of the line joining (-4,7) and (-5,0)?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 0)

m = $\frac{0-7}{-5+4}$ = $\frac{-7}{-1}$ = 7

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take (-4,7). That is your x1 and y1 numbers. Do the same thing for (-5,0) except, it will be x2 and y2.

Second, subtract y1 from y2 all over x1 from x2

EX: 0-7       m=7

   -5-(-4)
