What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, minus, 4, comma, minus, 10, right bracket(−4,−10) and left bracket, minus, 7, comma, minus, 19, right bracket(−7,−19)? Write your answer in simplest form.
The slope of the line passing through the points (-4,-10) and (-7,-19) can be found by using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Plugging in the values, we get:
m = (-19 - (-10))/(-7 - (-4))
m = (-19 + 10)/(-7 + 4)
m = (-9)/(-3)
m = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line is 3.
