Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the following pair of points: (-3,5) and (9,2) m =

Answer 1

m=-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line that passes through the pair of points: (-3,5) and (9,2).

The slope of the line is obtained using the formula below:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}`

Substituting the given points, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(5-2)/(-3-9) \\ =(3)/(-12) \\ =-(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

The slope of the line, m=-1/4.
