Question

A line intersects the points

(-2,9) and (3, -11).
What is the slope of the line in
simplest form?
m = [?]

Answer 1

Slope (m) = -4

Explanation:

Given :-

Points (-2, 9) and (3, -11)

To Find :-

Slope (m)

Solving :-

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

= -11 - 9 / 3 + 2

= -20 / 5

= -4

Solution :-

Slope (m) = -4

Answer 2

`\\`Answer:

m = - 4

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_(2)- y_(1) )/(x_(2)- x_(1) )`

Substitute (-2,9) and (3,-11) into m =
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) x_(1) )`

=
`m=(-11-9)/(3-(-2))`

m = -4
