Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (-1,4) and (14,-2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

hi! so we have 2 points right? you will need to use something called the slope formula  y2-y1/x2-x1 we're subtracting our y values of both points and x values of both points while dividing them this gives us a slope of a line

now I want you to label before you do this in your head! it can get confusing to think about it so label label (x1-1,y1 4) (x2 14,y2 -2) now you have them labeled this parts easy! use the formula -2-4/14--1 okay now use your calculator you get -2/5 and now you have your m or slope!

memorize y2-y1/x2-x1  now! it will save you!
