Question

your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

`(-2)/(7)`

Explanation:

Slope is the change in y over the change in x

(-6,1) (1,-1)

The y's are -1 and 1. You find the change by subtracting (-1 - 1 = -2)

(-6,1)(1,-1)

The x's are 1 and -6, You find the change by subtracting (1 - - 6 = 1 + 6 = 7)

`(-2)/(7)`
