Question

Determine the slope between the two points: (-9,5) and (3,2)

Answer 1

M = -1/4

Explanation:

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

we use the x and y components of the given coordinates to find out the answer.

Therefore,

(2-5)/(3-(-9)) = -1/4

Answer 2

Let (x1, y1) = (-9, 5) and (x2, y2) = (3, 2) be the two points.

The formula for finding the slope between two points is:

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

Substituting the values, we get:

m = (2 - 5) / (3 - (-9))

m = -3 / 12

m = -1/4

Therefore, the slope between the points (-9, 5) and (3, 2) is -1/4.
