Question

A line passes through the points (-3,4) and (-8,14). Find this line’s slope. If the slope does not exist, you may enter DNE or NONE.

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }$

where (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate

Slope

$= \frac{14 - 4}{ - 8 - ( - 3)}$

$= \frac{10}{ - 8 + 3}$

$= \frac{10}{ - 5}$

= -2
