Question 1059029: Hi I am working on my homework and we are doing slopes I am having some trouble with this question. it says Find the slope of the line through that given pair of points if possible. based on the slope,indicate whether the line through the points rises from left to right,falls from left to right, is horizontal,or is vertical.this is the question:
(-1,-2) and (2,-8) find the slope not sure how to graph it .
