Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (20,-3) and (-10,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we use

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (7 - -3)/(-10 -20)

  = (7+3)/ -30

  = 10/-30

   = -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope between the two points is $-\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the slope between is $m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$.

We will use the given coordinate points.

y2 = 7

y1 = -3

x2 = -10

x1 = 20

Now, we will plug these values into our formula.

$m=\frac{7-(-3)}{-10-20}$

$m=\frac{10}{-30}$

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

So, the slope between the two slopes is $-\frac{1}{3}$
