Question

3. Find the slope that runs through the points (-5, 10) and (3, -4). m =

Answer 1

We have to use the slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let's replace the points (-5, 10) and (3, -4).

$m=\frac{-4-10}{3-(-5)}=\frac{-14}{3+5}=-\frac{14}{8}=-\frac{7}{4}_{}$

Hence, the slope is -7/4.
