Question

Find the slope between the two points: (20, 8), (9, 16)

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt - (8)/(11) }}`

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• linear equation
• slope
• PEMDAS

given:

• points:(20,8),(9,16)

to find:

• slope

tips and formulas:

• 
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

let's solve:

let (20,8) and (9,16) be start and end points respectively

according to the question

1. 
   `\sf(8 - 16)/(20 - 9)`
2. 
   `\sf substract : \\ \sf ( - 8)/(11)`

and we are done

Answer 2

`\huge - (8)/(11) \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

From the question we have

`m = (16 - 8)/(9 - 20) = (8)/( - 11) = - (8)/(11) \\`

We have the final answer as

`- (8)/(11) \\`

Hope this helps you
