Question

What is the slope of the linear function thats passes through the points (9,-2) and(-4,-6)

Answer 1

slope =
`(4)/(13)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 6)

m =
`(-6+2)/(-4-9)` =
`(-4)/(-13)` =
`(4)/(13)`
