Question

(-19, -6) and (15, 16) find the slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The slope is defined as the rise/ run. If a line passes through any two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1) then the slope m is given by

$m=\frac{y_1-y_0_{}_{}}{x_1-x_0}$

Now, in our case (x0, y0) = ( -19, 6) and (x1, y1) = (15, 16); therefore, the slope is

$m=\frac{16-6}{15--19_{}}$

Simplifying the above gives

$m=\frac{5}{17}$

which is our answer!
