We are asked to find the slope of (-4, -7) and (-2, -19).

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • Use the slope formula.

Here's the slope formula:

[tex]\star~\boxed{\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}}[/tex]

Where

y2 and y1 are y-coordinates

x2 and x1 are x-coordinates

Input the values, which are:

-19: y2

-2: x2

-7: y1

-4: x1

[tex]\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{-19-(-7)}{-2-(-4)}}[/tex]

[tex]\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{-19+7}{-2+4}}[/tex]

Simplify!

[tex]\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{-12}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\star~\mathrm{-6}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D
