Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through(-4, 7) and (-6, -4)

Answer 1

Answer:

so slope is rise over run

( - 4 + 7 ) / ( - 4 - 6 )

= 3 / -10

= - 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$m = \frac{11}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following equation:

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

Let:

$(x_1, y_1) = (-6 , -4)\\(x_2, y_2) = (-4 ,7)$

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables in the given equation:

$m = \frac{7 - (-4)}{-4 - (-6)} = \frac{7 + 4}{-4 + 6} = \frac{11}{2}$
