Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points A(-6,2) and B(5,-1).

A 3/11
B -3/11
C -1
D -11/3​

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf{m=-(3)/(11) }}`

Explanation:

You simply need to use a slope formula that passes through the points in order to solve this problem.

Slope:

`\sf{(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN) }`

y2=(-1)

y1=2

x2=5

x1=(-6)

Rewrite the problem down.

`\sf{(-1-2)/(5-(-6))=(-1-2)/(5+6)=(-3)/(11)=\boxed{\sf{-(3)/(11) }}}`

-3/11

Therefore, the slope is -3/11, which is our answer.
