Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-6, -10) and (3,-13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

We must use slope formula* to solve this.

$\frac{-13 - (-10)}{3 - (-6)}\\\\\frac{-3}{9} = -\frac{1}{3}$

m** = $-\frac{1}{3}$

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

**m is the symbol for slope.
