Step-by-step explanation:
given,
point = ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 )
we know,
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
x1 , y1 = (-10 , -8 )
x2 , y2 = ( -8, -16 )
after inserting the values we got,
→ -16 - (-8 ) / -8 - (-10)
→ -8/2 → -4
therefore, slope of line is -4.
hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may this answer helps you dear!.
2a-8a=12-8a
now add 8a to both side and you get
2a= 12
divide both sides by 2 and you get
a=6
I’m pretty sure your answer will be -7 because if you add the negatives together it will get more negative and -3 and -4 combined is -7
