Question

A line contains the points (82, −96) and (87, −86) .

What is the slope of the line in simplified form?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (82, - 96) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (87, - 86)

m = $\frac{-86+96}{87-82}$ = $\frac{10}{5}$ = 2
