We will use the slope formula and fill it in accordingly.


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

Our x2 is 5 and x1 is -2; our y2 is -3 and y1 is 6


m=(-3-6)/(5-(-2))=(-9)/(7).

The slope of your line is -9/7

Answer

Find out the slope of the points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3).

To prove

The equation for finding the slope of two points be


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

where m represented the slope .

As given

points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3).


m = (-3-6)/(5+2)

solving the above terms


m = (-9)/(7)

Therefore the slope of points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3) is


m = (-9)/(7)
