Question

HELP QUICK PLEASE!! What is the slope of the line determined by the coordinates (2, 3) and (-6, -4)?

Answer 1

$(x_1;\ y_1);\ (x_2;\ y_2)\\\\the\ slope:\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$


$We\ have:\\(2;\ 3)\to x_1=2;\ y_1=3\\(-6;-4)\to x_2=-6;\ y_2=-4\\\\substract\\\\m=\dfrac{-4-3}{-6-2}=\dfrac{-7}{-8}=\dfrac{7}{8}=0.875$
