<h2>Answer: slope = ¹¹/₁₃
</h2><h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>
The question gives us two points, (−13, −19) & (13, 3), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= ((3 - (-19)) ÷ (13 - (-13))
= 22 ÷ 26
= ¹¹/₁₃

<em>Checking my answer:</em>
<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. If the line passes through both of the points then we calculated the slope correctly.</em>
⇒ y + 19 = ¹¹/₁₃ (x + 13)

Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
Left line is defined when x < 1 (x is less than 1). The point is not full and that means that x = 1 is not included.
Right line is defined when x is greater or equal to one x ≥ 1.
Options that have x < 1 and x ≥ 1 are b and d, so the answer is one of those.
Equations of the lines are in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Right line has steeper slope than left line, so the slope of right line will have bigger absolute value. That is the case with option d. (Left line has slope -1 and right one has slope -2, absolute value of right slope is bigger.)
You could also check with y-intercepts. Left line has y-intercept at y = 2 and left line is defined when x < 1. Only option d meets these conditions.
