Question

2 Two points located on JK are J(-1,-9) and K(5,3). What is the slope of JK

A. -2
B. -1/2
c. 1/2
D. 2​

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

To find the slope when given two points, we can use the formula

m = ( y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= ( 3- -9)/( 5 - -1)

= ( 3+9) / ( 5+1)

= 12/6

= 2

The slope is 2.
