Question

Determine the slope of the line between (-6,13) and (1,11)

Answer 1

We can find the slope using the following formula:

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

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-6,13) \\ (x2,y2)=(1,11) \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`m=(11-13)/(1-(-6))=(-2)/(7)=-(2)/(7)`

Answer:

`-(2)/(7)`
