Given Coordinates: x1 = 1 y1 = -19, x2 = -2 y2 = -7
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
m = -4
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (1, -19) and (-2, -7) is equal to -4
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
-7 − (-19)/-2 − 1
m = -7 + 19/-2 − 1
m = 12/-3
m = – 12/3
(Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 3, GCF(12, 3) = 3)m = -4
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (1, -19) and (-2, -7) is equal to -4
