Slope of a Line given points (-2, -11) and (-6, -5)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -2  y₁ = -11,  x₂ = -6  y₂ = -5
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  
m  =  m  =  m  =  –    (Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 4, GCF(6, 4) = 2)m  =  –
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-2, -11) and (-6, -5) is equal to  –

3/2

Note: As a decimal number,  –   = -1.5
