find the slope of the line containing the pair of points.
(-5,-10) and (-4,-3)
(-3+10)/(-4+5) = 7/1 = 7
Note that x changed by 1 and y changed by 7.
To find the slope of the line containing a pair of points, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Given the two points (-5, -10) and (-4, -3), let's calculate the slope step by step:
1. Determine the change in y-coordinates:
= (-3) - (-10)
= -3 + 10
= 7
2. Determine the change in x-coordinates:
= (-4) - (-5)
= -4 + 5
= 1
3. Divide the change in y-coordinates by the change in x-coordinates:
slope = 7 / 1
slope = 7
Therefore, the slope of the line containing the points (-5, -10) and (-4, -3) is 7.
