Question

Line AB contains points A (−2, 6) and B (4, 5). The slope of line AB is

Answer 1

slope = -
`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 2, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(4, 5)

m =
`(5-6)/(4+2)` =
`(-1)/(6)` = -
`(1)/(6)`
