Slope of a Line given points (20, -15) and (-24, 30)

Given Coordinates: x1 = 20  y1 = -15,  x2 = -24  y2 = 30
Slope Formula: m  =  
y2 − y1/x2 − x1

Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:
m  =  
30 − (-15)/-24 − 20
m  =  
30 + 15/-24 − 20
m  =  
45/-44
m  =  –
45/44

Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (20, -15) and (-24, 30) is equal to  –
45/44

Note: As a decimal number,  –
45/44
  ≈ -1.0227272727273
