What is the slope of the line that passes through the points -1,-7 and -2 ,-5

Respuesta :

The formula is y2-y1 divided by x2-x1 So now-5+7divided by -2+1 =2/-1= -2

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose,

(x₁,y₁)=(-1,-7)

(x₂,y₂)=(-2 ,-5)

slope (m)=?

now,

m=rise/run

   =Δy/Δx

    =(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

    ={-5-(-7}/{-2-(-1)}  

     ={-5+7} / {-2+1}                 [negative plus negative =positive]

     =2/-1

     =-2
