What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (-6, 7), (0, -4) #? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer BRIAN M. Jun 23, 2016 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# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
