Answer:
the slope is 1/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
to know how to find the slope of an equation using given points
There are three steps in calculating the slope of a straight line when you are not given its equation.
- Step One: Identify two points on the line.
(-1,7) and (-3,6)
Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).
(x1, y1)= -1, 7 and (x2, y2)= -3,6
Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.
equation: m= y2-y1/x2-x1
=6-7/-3-(-1)
=-1/-2
=1/2 or 0.5
