Given the points:
(x1, y1) ==> (-17.2, 17.3)
(x2, y2) ==> (-16.8, 6.2)
Let's find the slope of the line containing the pair of points.
To find the slope of the line, apply the slope formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]Input values into the forumla and solve for the slope, m:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{6.2-17.3}{-16.8-(-17.2)} \\ \\ m=\frac{6.2-17.3}{-16.8+17.2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving further:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-11.1}{0.4} \\ \\ m=-27.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the slope of the line is -27.75
ANSWER:
-27.75
