Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-38, 100) and (-37, 5).

Answer 1

The slope between two points is:  (change in Y) / (change in X) .

Slope = (-95) / (1)

Slope = -95

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-38, 100) and (-37, 5). \\ x1 = - 38 \\ y1 = 100 \\ x2 = - 37 \\ y2 = 5$

$m \: = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ m \: = \frac{5 - 100}{ - 37 - 38} \\ m = \frac{ - 95}{ - 75}$

$m = \frac{19}{15}$
