The slope of a Line
Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]We are given the points (16,3) and (14,-19). Find the slope of the line passing through them.
Substituting the values of the coordinates:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-19-3}{14-16}=\frac{-22}{-2}=11[/tex]The slope of the line is 11
