PLEASE HELP ME What is the slope of the line that goes through points (−3,−4)
and (−7,16)?

5

Step-by-step explanation: slope =

The second y point is 16 and the first is -4, so:

(16) - (-4)

Which can be written as 16 + 4 because a double negative makes a positive. Do the same for the x points, -7 and -3:

(-7) - (-3)

(-7) + (3)

Now solve both of them:

16 + 4 = 20

(-7) + 3 = -4

Remember, the slope formula is y over x, so we still need to put it into the fraction form:

You can reduce this to , or 5.

m = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for the slope of a line is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

we need to find difference between the y-coordinates and divide it by the difference between the x-coordinates

(-4-16)/(-3-(-7)

-20/4

-5
