Question

What’s the slope that goes through (9,-6) and (5,1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`slope = ( - 6 - 1)/(9 - 5) = ( - 7)/(4) = - (7)/(4) \\`

Answer 2

-7/4

Explanation:

When we are given two points, we can find the slope using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (1- -6)/(5-9)

= (1+6)/(5-9)

=7/-4

= -7/4
