Question

Use the slope formula to find the in the line through the points p1 and p2p1 = (7, -6). p2 = ( - 9, 3)

Answer 1

Given the points: (7, -6) and (-9, 3)

slope formula:

`m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\text{ }`

Replacing the coordinates in the formula:

`m\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ + 6}}{-9\text{ - 7}}\text{ = -}(9)/(16)`
