Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) a
and
(-9,6).

Answer 1

Answer: Slope = -3/7

===================================================

Apply the slope formula

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

m = (6-3)/(-9-(-2))

m = (6-3)/(-9+2)

m = 3/(-7)

m = -3/7

This means each time you go down 3 units, you go to the right 7 units.

Slope = rise/run = -3/7

rise = -3 and run = 7
