Question

Find the slope of ther line that goes through the points (-9,-4) and (-3,-6)

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 6)

m =
`(-6+4)/(-3+9)` =
`(-2)/(6)` = -
`(1)/(3)`
