Answer
m=−$\frac{22}{455}$
Work Step by Step
To find the slope, we use the formula m=$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$.
We plug in the x and y values from the given coordinate pairs:
m=$\frac{3-5.2}{3.25-(-42.25)}$
We simplify above and below the fraction bar with subtraction:
m=−$\frac{2.2}{45.5}$
We write this as a fraction of whole numbers by multiplying by $\frac{10}{10}$:
m=−$\frac{22}{455}$
