Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-1) and (-6,-2) write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is you know rise over run

which means the equation would look like $\frac{y}{x}$, but since there's no graph and line showed up and only have two points given, you should subtract second point and first point (the order doesn't really matter tho), then $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$, so

$\frac{-2-(-1)}{-6-(-8)}=\frac{-1}{2}$
