Given Coordinates: x1 = -8 y1 = -5, x2 = -10 y2 = -9
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
m =
m = 2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-8, -5) and (-10, -9) is equal to 2
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
-9 − (-5)/-10 − (-8)
m =
-9 + 5/-10 + 8
m = -4/-2
m = 4/2
(Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 2, GCF(4, 2) = 2)m = 2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-8, -5) and (-10, -9) is equal to 2
