Question

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points plz

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope= $-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are looking for slope you should use this $slope=m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ then just plug in what you already know.

$y_{1}=-5\\y_{2}=-2\\x_{1}=17\\x_{2}=11$

Now we insert it in the formula and solve to get the slope...

$\frac{-2-(-5)}{11-17}=\frac{3}{-6}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-5))/(11 - 17) = 3/(-6) = -1/2
