Question
In Exercises 13-16, find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points. Then use a graphing utility to plot the points and use the draw feature to graph the line segment connecting the two points. (Use a square setting.)$(0,-10),(-4,0)$
Step 1
The formula for the slope \(m\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Substitute the coordinates of the given points into the formula: \[ m = \frac{0 - (-10)}{-4 - 0} = \frac{10}{-4} = -2.5 \] Show more…
