Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 6) and (9, -5). ​

Answer 1

Answer: -1

Explanation:

Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the slope of the line = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

We can let (x1,y1) be (-2,6) and (x2,y2) be (9,-5).

Therefore, the slope = (-5-6)/(9-(-2) = -11/11 = -1
