Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.
(-40.48,5.7) and (0.48,4.4)
The slope is __
-45/1127
oobleck did a similar one for you about 4 hours ago, all you had to do is finish it.
slope = (5.7 - 4.4) / (-40.48 - .48)
= 1.3 / - 40.96
= -130/4096
= - 65/2048 or appr - 0.0317
-45/1127
Huh, where does that come from?
I don't know but the answer was that-
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the coordinates of the first point are (x1, y1) = (-40.48, 5.7), and the coordinates of the second point are (x2, y2) = (0.48, 4.4).
Now, substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (4.4 - 5.7) / (0.48 - (-40.48))
Simplify the numerator and denominator:
slope = -1.3 / (0.48 + 40.48)
= -1.3 / 40.96
Divide the numerator by the denominator:
slope ≈ -0.0318
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-40.48, 5.7) and (0.48, 4.4) is approximately -0.0318.
