Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-3, 8) and (2, -11)

  1. -19/5
  2. 13/2
  3. 3/10
  4. 11/2

hintHint:

Slope of a line that passes through (x1,y1 ), (x2, y2 ) is m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction

The correct answer is: -19/5


    Points are (-3, 8) and (2, -11)
    Step 1 : Slope of a line that passes through (x1,y1 ), (x2, y2 ) is  m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction
    equals fraction numerator negative 11 minus 8 over denominator 2 plus 3 end fraction
    equals negative 19 over 5 , is the slope of given line .

    m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction , where ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) are the given points and m is the slope .
