Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (84, 7) and (85, -25). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.​

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is -32

Explanation:

Start with the slope formula:

m= (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substitute point values in the formula

m = (-25 - 7) / (85 - 84)

Simplify each side of the equation

m= (-25 - 7) / (85 - 84) = -32/1

Solve for slope (m)

m= -32
