Question

What is the slope of (-3,9) and (22,-4)

Answer 1

We are asked the slope of (-3,9) and (22,-4)

Slope is given by the formula

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

here

`\begin{gathered} m=\text{slope} \\ y_2=-4,y_1=9,x_2=22,x_1=-3 \end{gathered}`

Our slope becomes

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(-4-9)/(22-(-3) \\ m=(-13)/(25) \\ \\ m=-(13)/(25) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope is

`-(13)/(25)`
