Question

What is the slope of the line that contains these
points?
X=

-1 1
3
5

у=

10
2
-6
-14

Answer 1

Answer:

The slops is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x: -1   1    3   5

y: 10   2   -6   -14

Required

The slope

Pick any pair of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,10)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)$

The slope is:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

$m = \frac{2 -10}{1 --1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{2}$

$m = -4$
