Question

A line intersects the points (-7, -5) and (4,8).
Find the slope of the line and simplify completely.
Slope =

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope is 13/11 or 1.18

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = -7

x2 = 4

y1 = -5

y2 = 8

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ = $\frac{8 - (-5)}{4 - (-7)}$ = $\frac{13}{11}$ = approx. 1.18
