Greetings from Brasil...

It is possible to answer this question through Determinant

| X Y 1 |

| X₁ Y₁ 1 | = 0

| X₂ Y₂ 1 |

We have:

(X₁; Y₁) = (-9; 8)

(X₂; Y₂) = (-3; -1)

then

| X Y 1 |

| -9 8 1 | = 0

| -3 -1 1 |

9X + 6Y + 33 = 0

Question 1 What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, 8) and-example-1
