• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-7, 0)

Point (-6, -10)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{-10-0}{-6+7}$
2. Subtract/Add:                      $m=\frac{-10}{1}$
3. Divide:                                 $m=-10$

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is: $\frac{y2+y1}{x2-x1}$

So we plug in the numbers.

$\frac{-10-0}{-7-(-6)}$=$\frac{-10}{-1}$=10
