Answer:

Slope of line = [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two points,

(-4 ,-8) and ( - 18 , -10)

We need to find the slope of line passing through these two points.

i.e slope of line = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }[/tex]

Here y₂ = -10 , y₁ = -8 , x₂ = -18  and  x₁ = -4

Hence,

slope of line = [tex]\frac{-10 - (-8)  }{-18 - (-4)  }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{-14}[/tex]

Slope of line = [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Answer:

slope = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

(-4,-8) and (-18,-10)

Slope is defined as steepness of a line.

The formula to find slope is :

Slope = m= y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

putting above values in formula to find slope,we get

Slope =  -10 - (-8) / -8 - (-4)

Slope = -10+8 / -8 +4

Slope = -2 / -4

Slope = 1/2 which is the answer.
