Question

A line contains the points  (−26, −37)  and  (−32, −61) . What is the slope of the line in simplified form?
I got -4 for my answer, but I don't know if this is right. Please help!!XD

Answer 1

Using y2-y1/x2-x1      m=24/6   so the slope is +4

Answer 2

The slope of the line is "4".

Given:

• $(x_1 , y_1 )= (-26, -37)$
• $(x_2, y_2) = (-32,-61)$

As we know the formula for finding the slope will be:

→ $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

By substituting the values, we get

→     $= \frac{-61-(-37)}{-32-(-26)}$

→     $= \frac{-61+37}{-32+26}$

→     $= \frac{-24}{-6}$

→     $=4$

Thus the answer above is right.
