hello i see that no one has answered your question yet well im here to help:)
(1,-19),(-2,-7)
so here one way you can find the slope
i usually always use this to help me to keep it in order
------------------
(X1,Y1)(X2,Y2)
X2-X1
Y2-Y1
use this and your garanteed to get the right answer everytime
------------------
X = -2 – 1 = -3
Y = -7 – -19 = 12
once you do that you divide if possible
12/-3
which gives you -4
so your answer is -4
its really not hard you just got to get use to it
hope it help you:)
The slope of the line passing through the given points (1, -19) and (-2, -7) is -4.
Given the following points:
- Points on the x-axis = (1, -2)
- Points on the y-axis = (-19, -7)
To find the slope of the line passing through the given points (1, -19) and (-2, -7):
The slope of a line refers to the gradient of a line and it is typically used to describe both the direction and steepness of an equation of a straight line.
Mathematically, the slope of a line is given by the following formula;
[tex]Slope. \;m = \frac{Change \; in \; y \;axis}{Change \; in \; x \;axis} \\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Substituting the points into the above formula, we have;
[tex]Slope. \;m = \frac{-7 \;- \;[-19]}{-2\; - \;1}\\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{-7\; + \;19}{-3}\\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{12}{-3}[/tex]
Slope, m = -4
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is -4.
