What is the slope of the points( -3, 10), (-13, -6)

Recall that slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x.

First, let's take out y values in order. We have 10 and -6. To get from 10 to -6, you need to subtract 16, which gives us our numerator.

Now, let's take our x values in order. We have -3 and -13. To get from -3 to -13, you need to subtract ten.

Now we have our slope, which is . If we simplify this, our final answer is .

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.

Could you make it more clear?
