Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -9) and (15, -29)?

Answer 1

answer: 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points. Which means, y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 = 29 - (-9) / 15 - 7

= 29 + 9 / 8

= 38/8
