Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through points (6,9) and (11,2)

Answer 1

-7/5

Explanation:

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

m=(2-9)/(11-6)

m=-7/5

Answer 2

`-1.4`

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the change in the line. It can be found using the formula;

`(rise)/(run)` or
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Substitute in the given points, and solve for the slope;

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\= (2-9)/(11-6)\\\\= (-7)/(5)\\\\= -1.4`
