Find the slope of the line through each pair of points.
1 answer:
<h2>Answer: slope = ¹¹/₁₃
</h2><h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>
The question gives us two points, (−13, −19) & (13, 3), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= ((3 - (-19)) ÷ (13 - (-13))
= 22 ÷ 26
= ¹¹/₁₃

<em>Checking my answer:</em>
<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. If the line passes through both of the points then we calculated the slope correctly.</em>
⇒ y + 19 = ¹¹/₁₃ (x + 13)
<em>I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information equation (including the slope) and the points given. </em>

We are asked to find the slope of this graph; we are provided with two points:
- What we need in order to find the slope are two points and the slope formula.
Here's the formula:
Where
y2 and y1 are y-coordinates
x2 and x1 are x-coordinates
Substitute the values:
