Question

Find the slope of the line containing the pair of points.
(-9,- 8) and (-8,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 - -6 / -9 - -8 = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{1}$ which is just 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

So plug the numbers in, now it should look like $\frac{-6 - (-8)}{-8 - (-9)}$

-6 - (-8) = 2

-8 - (-9) = 1

So the slope is $\frac{2}{1}$
