Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?

Answer 1

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of slope:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

And replace any two coordinates into the equation:

$m=\frac{11-6}{13-14} \\m=\frac{5}{-1}\\m=-5$

Answer 2

Answer:

m (slope) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is use 2 of these points. For this example, we will use

(13,11) and (14,6).

To solve, use rise/run. The y value (rise) goes down by 5, so your rise is -5. The x value (run) goes up by 1, so your run is 1.

Insert these values into rise/run to get -5/1. Simplify this to get -5.
