Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 1)(−3,1) and (7, -14) ?(7,−14)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

m = - 3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

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

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

( - 3 , 1 )

( 7 , - 14 )

m = $\frac{-14-1}{7-(-3)}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$
