Question

draw a line representing the
ise\ and a line representing the
un\ of the line. state the slope of the line in simplest form.
click twice to plot each segment.
click a segment to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

Let's take the points (-8, 8) and (2, -2).

Step2: Calculate the rise

The rise is the change in y - values. $y_2 - y_1=-2 - 8=-10$.

Step3: Calculate the run

The run is the change in x - values. $x_2 - x_1=2-(-8)=10$.

Step4: Calculate the slope

The slope $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}=\frac{-10}{10}=- 1$.

Answer:

-1
