Step 1: Define

Identify.

Point (-8, 11)

Point (17, 4)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                              $\displaystyle m = \frac{4 - 11}{17 - -8}$
2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate:                                                                      $\displaystyle m = \frac{-7}{25}$

Answer 2

$\huge{\purple{\underline{\underline{\bf{\pink{ANSWER:-}}}}}}$

We've been asked to find slope of the following coordinates which are (-8,11) and (17,4).

The standard formula to calculate slope is given by,

$:\implies\footnotesize\rm{Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

$:\implies\footnotesize\rm{Slope = \frac{4 - 11}{17 - ( - 8)} }$

$:\implies\footnotesize\rm{Slope = \frac{ - 7}{17 + 8} }$

$:\implies\footnotesize\rm{Slope = \frac{ - 7}{25} }$

• The slope is -7/25.
