Question

find the slope for (-16, -19) and (-18, -20) can some please help me I don't understand how to find the slope for this thank you in advance.

Answer 1

first, determine the x1 and x2, as well as the y1 and y2:
*note: i will rename the given points as A and B,,

first point, A(-16, -19)
-16 is the x-coordinate of point A = x1
-19 is the y-coordinate of point A = y1

second point, B(-18, -20)
-18 is the x-coordinate of point B = x2
-20 is the y-coordinate of point B = y2

then to get the slope (represented by variable "m"), substitute these values to the formula:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

therefore,
m = (-20-(-19))/(-18-(-16))
m = (-20+19)/(-18+16)
m = (-1)/(-2)
m = 1/2

so there,, =)
