Answer:

Explanation:

Slope of line through (-9,6) and (-6,-9) = (-9 - 6)/(-6 - (-9)) = (-15)/(3) = -5

point-slope equation for line of slope -5 that passes through (-9,6):

y-6 = -5(x+9)

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

because i answered it on khan academy and it was right

Slope=

Run

Rise

=

Change in x

Change in y

start text, S, l, o, p, e, end text, equals, start fraction, start text, R, i, s, e, end text, divided by, start text, R, u, n, end text, end fraction, equals, start fraction, start text, C, h, a, n, g, e, space, i, n, space, end text, y, divided by, start text, C, h, a, n, g, e, space, i, n, space, end text, x, end fraction

Hint #22 / 3

\begin{aligned} \text{Slope}&=\dfrac{9-6}{-3-(-9)} \\\\ &=\dfrac{3}{6} \\\\ &=\dfrac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

Slope

=

−3−(−9)

9−6

=

6

3

=

2

1

Hint #33 / 3

The slope is \dfrac{1}{2}

2

1

start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction.
