Question

A line contains the points (-26, -37) and (-32, -61)
What is the slop of the line in simplified form?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope by using

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -61- -37)/( -32 - -26)

  = ( -61+37)/( -32 +26)

  = -24/-6

   =4

Answer 2

Answer:

$slope = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

(-26, -37) and (-32, -61)

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

$slope = \dfrac{-61 - (-37)}{-32 - (-26)}$

$slope = \dfrac{-24}{-6}$

$slope = 4$
