Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (9,−10) and (3,−13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-13-(-10))/(3-9)

m=(-13+10)/-6

m=-3/-6

m=3/6

m=1/2

Answer 2

1/2.

Explanation:

The slope = rise/run

= (-13 - (-10)) / (3 - 9)

= -3 / - 6

= 1/2.
