What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (18,8) ; (-7,-5)#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Alan P. Feb 15, 2016 Slope: #13/25# Explanation: For #color(white)("XXX")(x1,y1)=(18,8)# and #color(white)("XXX")(x_2,y_2)=(-7,-5)# slope: #(Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (-5-8)/(-7-18)=13/25# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
