Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,-9) and )1,-3)

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Slope = (-3 - 2) / (1 - 2) = -5 / -1 = 5

Answer 2

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{\text{slope =} 6}`

We can calculate slope using the following formula:

`slope = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Plug in the corresponding points:

`slope = (-9-(-3))/(2-1)`

Simplify:

`slope = (-6)/(1) = -6`
