Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−2, −8) and (−3, −9) ?

1

−75

−57

−1

Answer 1

$\boxed {\bf{ \text{Slope = }\dfrac{Y_2 - Y_1}{X_2 - X_1} }}$

.

$\text {Given } (X_1, Y_1) = (-2, -8) \ \ \text {and} \ \ (X_2, Y_2) = (-3, -9 ) \ \ ,$

$\text{Slope = }\dfrac{-9 - (-8)}{-3-(-2)} = \dfrac{-1}{-1} = 1$

.

Answer: slope = 1

Answer 2

Hey!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{(-9)-(-8)=-9+8=-1}{(-3)-(-2)=-3+2=-1}=1$

Answer: A. 1.

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Slope is 1.

Hope this helps!
