Question:
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, –4) and (–3, 10).

Answer:

For finding the slope, all you have to do is substitute the given x coordiates and y coordinates inthe given formula,

+slope%2C+m+=+%28Y2+-Y1%29%2F%28X2+-+X1%29
So here to find the slope that passes through (–1, –4) and (–3, 10).

+m+=+%28Y2+-Y1%29%2F%28X2+-+X1%29

==> ++m+=+%2810+-+%28-4%29%29%29%2F%28-3+-+%28-1%29%29

==> ++m+=+%2814%29%2F%28-2%29

==> ==> ++m+=+-7



So the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, –4) and (–3, 10) is -7


Hope you found the explanation useful.
