Question

Find the slope of the line containing the pair of points.
(4. - 10) and (7.-9)

Answer 1

Answer:

3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1

so this would be -9- -10/7-4

since it's a negative minus a negative, it turns into a plus so the final equation would be -9+10/7-4

the final answer would be 3/1, or just 3 :) hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

( 4, -10 )

( 7, -9  )

Slope formula = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$\frac{-9 - ( -10 )}{7 - 4}$ = $\frac{-9 + 10}{7-4}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

Slope = $\frac{1}{3}$
