Question

find the slope of the line that passes through (-5, 100) and (-6, 24).

simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (-5, 100),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (-6, 24) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$

Calculate the final value

$$ m = \frac{24 - 100}{-6 - (-5)} = \frac{-76}{-1} = 76 $$

Answer:

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-5, 100) and (-6, 24).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
