Question

>) Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 11) and (9, 2). )) Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer. ​

Answer 1

The slope is
`- (9)/(8)`.

Explanation:

`m = slope`

Remember:
`m = (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2 - x_1)`

☆All you have to do is plug in.

`m = (2 - 11)/(9 - 1) = ( - 9)/( \: \: 8) = - (9)/(8)`
