Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (-6, 7), (0, -4) #?

Answer 1

The slope is `m =-11/6`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is

`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

For the coordinate points `(-6,7) and (0,-4)`
`x_1 = -6`
`x_2 = 0`
`y_1 = 7`
`y_2 = -4`

`m = (-4-7)/(0-(-6))`

`m = -11/6`

The slope is `m =-11/6`
