Find what is the Slope of Line for Points (-3, 1) & (-17, 2)
The slope of a line passing through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are (-3, 1) & (-17, 2) respectively is -0.0714, refer the calculation summary and work with steps for detailed explanation.| Calculation Summary | |
|---|---|
| (x1, y1) | (-3, 1) |
| (x2, y2) | (-17, 2) |
| Slope | -0.0714 |
Work with Steps to find Slope of Line passing through (-3, 1) & (-17, 2)
Question:
The line on X Y plane is passing through the points (-3, 1) and (-17, 2), find what is the slope of that line?
Workout :The line on X Y plane is passing through the points (-3, 1) and (-17, 2), find what is the slope of that line?
step1 Address the formula, input parameters and values
(x1, y1) = (-3, 1)
(x2, y2) = (-17, 2)
step 2 Apply x1, y1, x2 & y2 in below slope formula.
m = y2 - y1x2 - x1
= 2 - (1)/-17 - (-3)
= 2 - 1/-17 + 3
= 1/-14
slope m = -0.0714
