Question

if youre given two points ((x_1,y_1)) and ((x_2,y_2))
(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1})
find the slope. *

1. ((20, 15), (0, -7))

a) (-\frac{11}{10}) b) (\frac{10}{11})
c) (-\frac{10}{11}) d) (\frac{11}{10})
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Step1: Assign values to variables

Let $(x_1, y_1)=(20, 15)$ and $(x_2, y_2)=(0, -7)$

Step2: Substitute into slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-7-15}{0-20}$

Step3: Calculate numerator and denominator

$m=\frac{-22}{-20}$

Step4: Simplify the fraction

$m=\frac{11}{10}$

Answer:

D) $\frac{11}{10}$
