A line contains the points (−26, −37) and (−32, −61) .

What is the slope of the line in simplified form?



Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

The slope is 4
To find the slope formula is y2-y1/x2-y1 so you will have -61- -37 / -32- -26 which will give you 24/ 6 and when you simplify is 4

Answer:

The slope of the line containing the points (-26,-37) and (-32,-61) is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points of the line (-26,-37) and (-32,-61)

To find:

Slope(m) of the line =?

Solution:

The Equation of slope of two points is

[tex]Slope m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}[/tex]

Let (-26,-37) be[tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]

and (-32,-61) be [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Now substituting the values ,

[tex]m=\frac{(-61+37)}{(-32+26)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-24}{-6}[/tex]

m=4

Thus the slope of the line is 4
