Question

Whatis the answer to the problem

Answer 1

slope =
`-(1)/(8)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula given in the question to solve for the slope. The
`m` is the variable representing the slope. The
`x_1` and
`y_1` values are x and y values of one point. The
`x_2` and
`y_2` are x and y values of another point.

So, use the x and y values of the points given and substitute them in the correct order into the formula:

`m = ((7)-(9))/((10)-(-6))\\m = (7-9)/(10+6) \\m = (-2)/(16) \\m = -(1)/(8)`

Thus, the slope is
`-(1)/(8)`.
