Answer:

m= -20/11

Explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.

m= change in y/ change in x

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m = y 2 − y 1/ x 2 − x 1

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

m= 3-(-17)/-6-(5)

m= -20/11
