Question

A line intersects the points

(5, 2) and (6, -9).
What is the slope of the line in
simplest form?
m = [?]

Answer 1

m = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf slope \formula:\boxed{(\sf y2-y1)/(\sf x2-x1) }`

• given coordinates: (5, 2) and (6, -9)

using this formula:

`\rightarrow (-9-2)/(6-5)`

`\rightarrow -11`
