Question

What is the slope of the line through (-9,6)(−9,6)(, minus, 9, comma, 6, )and (-3,9)(−3,9)(, minus, 3, comma, 9, )?

Answer 1

0.5

Explanation:

The slope m of a linear equation y = mx + b that goes through point (-9,6) and point (-3, 9) would have the following formula

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (9 - 6)/(-3 - (-9)) = (3)/(6)= (1)/(2)` or 0.5

Where
`(x_1,y_1), (x_2, y_2)` are the coordinates of the 2 points that this line goes through
