Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points ( -20, -4) and (-12, -10)

Answer 1

You can find the slope using the following formula:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ \end{gathered}$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-20,-4) \\ (x2,y2)=(-12,-10) \\ m=\frac{-10-(-4)}{-12-(-20)}=\frac{-6}{8}=-\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$
