The slope of line passing through the given points is: -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points are:
(x1,y1) = (-8,-1)
(x2,y2) = (-6,-2)
Slope is defined as the steepness of a line.
It is denoted by m.
The formula for slope is:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Putting the values
[tex]m = \frac{-2-(-1)}{-6-(-8)}\\= \frac{-2+1}{-6+8}\\=\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
The slope of line passing through the given points is: -1/2
