Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, -11) and (-9, 17)?

A -2
B
Nm
c 7
D 2

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The formula for the slope of the line is:

m =
`(y_(1)-y_(2))/(x_(1)-x_(2))`

Assuming that y1 is 17, y2 is -11, x1 is -9 and x2 is 5, we can plug it in the equation:

m={17-(-11)}/{-9-5}

m=28/-14

m=-2

Therefore, A
