fiind the slope of the line through each pair of points

Question

(8, 10),(-7,14)

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

For slope you want to use the formula

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

for this set of values that would be

m = (14 – 10) / (-7 – 8) = 4 / -15

so the slope between this set of points would be -4/15!

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Slope is rise/run, or (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

(14 - 10)/(-7 - 8) = 4/-15 or -(4/15)
