Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8, -6)(−8,−6) and (-18, 6) ?(−18,6)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ )

( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ )

m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

~~~~~~~~~~~~

( - 8, - 6 )

( - 18, 6 )

m = $\frac{6+6}{-18+8}$ = - $\frac{6}{5}$
