Question

Find the slope of the line between(-3,6) and (-5,9)M= 3/2 The victim was not electrocuted.M=-2/3 Dr. Alpha was taking a nap in the atrium.M=2/3 Miss Beta was watching a movie in the theater.M= -3/2 The murder was not drowning.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is:

`M=-(3)/(2)`

The murder was not drowning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by the formula:

`M=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Here, we have:

`\begin{gathered} x_1=-3 \\ y_1=6 \\ x_2=-5 \\ y_2=9 \end{gathered}`

Using these, we have:

`\begin{gathered} M=(9-6)/(-5-(-3)) \\ \\ =(9-6)/(-5+3) \\ \\ =(3)/(-2) \\ \\ =-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`
