Question

A line passes through the points(-9,-9) and (-6,-6)
Fine the slope of the line

Answer 1

Slope of the line = 1

Explanation:

A line with two points, we are asked to find the slope

We are using the formula

m = (y_2 - y_1) /( x_2 - x_1)

We are provided with some points

( -9 , -9) ( -6 , -6)

x_1 = -9

y_1 = -9

x_2 = -6

y_2 = -6

Insert the values into the equation

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

m = ( -6 - (-9)) / ( -6 - (-9))

Hint: - * - = +

m =( -6 + 9) / ( -6 + 9)

= 3 / 3

= 1

Slope m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the line = 1
