Question

Find the slope of the equation that goes through: (-4,-14) and (-10,6)

Answer 1

Hello.

In order to find the slope of the given line, we should use the slope formula:

$\mathrm{\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}$

y₂= the y-coordinate of the second point (6

y₁= the y-coordinate of the first point (-14)

x₂=the x-coordinate of the second point (-10)

x₁=the x-coordinate of the first point (-4)

Let's plug in the values and solve:

$\mathrm{\displaystyle\frac{6-(-14)}{-10-(-4)}=\frac{6+14}{-10+4} =\frac{20}{-6} =-\frac{20}{6} =-\frac{10}{3} }$

Answer:

$\Large\boxed{\sf{\displaystyle-\frac{10}{3} }}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
