Question

2: Find the slope: (-3, -27), (1, 9)​

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

A slope, m is the steepness of a particular line.

Given the 2 coordinates, we can express them as:

(-3,-27) = (x1, y1)

and

(1,9) = (x2,y2)

Formula to find slope:

`(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)`

Now we will apply the values to the formula to find the slope:

`m = ( - 27 - 9)/( - 3 - 1) \\ = ( - 36)/( - 4) \\ = 9`

Therefore the slope for this 2 particular points is 9.
