Question

What is the slope of the line through (6,9)(6,9)(, 6, comma, 9, )and (7,1)(7,1)(, 7, comma, 1, )?

Answer 1

the slope of the given line is -8

Explanation:

(6,9) and (7,1)

To find the slope of the given line we use formula

`slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

the value of x1 is 6 and y1 is 9

the value x2 is 7 and y2 is 1

plug in the value in the slope formula

`slope = (1-9)/(7-6)=(-8)/(1)=-8`

the slope of the given line is -8
