Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 4)and (-7, -9)

Answer 1

Equation for slope for a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ will be:

$\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

Using the given points, the equation changes to:

$\dfrac{4-(-9)}{-4-(-7)}$

$=\dfrac{13}{3}$

The slope is 13/3, let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
