Question

Please help. (There is a empty yellow box with an = before it at the end, I couldn’t fit it into the picture.)

Answer 1

`-2`

1) In this question, we need to find the slope (i.e. the measure of how steep is that line between two given points).

2) So, we can write out the slope-formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(3-9)/(4-1)=(-6)/(3)=-2 \\ m=(change\: in\: y)/(change\: in\: x)=(3-9)/(4-1)=(-6)/(3)=-2 \end{gathered}`

Or find it using to the way this question was made.

3) Thus, the answer is -2
