find the slope of the line through the given pair of points, if possible. Based on the slope, indicate whether the line through the points rises from left to right, falls from left to right, is horizontal, or is vertical (-7,-9) and (-5,-8)
easy peasy slope=(change in rise)/(change in run) aka slope between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) since y is rise/up and x is run/leftright
points
(-7,-9) and (-5,-8)
x1=-7 y1=-9 x2=-5 y2=-8 remember minusing a negative means addin a positive slope=(-8-(-9))/(-5-(-7))= (-8+9)/(-5+7)=1/2
slope=1/2
positive slopes go from bottom left to top right
since it is less than 1 it is more horizonal than vertical
