Question

What is the slope sf the line below be sure to scroll down firs to see all (-6,3) (3,-9)

Answer 1

To find the slope(m), use the slope formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` And plug in the two points on the line

(-6, 3) = (x₁, y₁)

(3, -9) = (x₂, y₂)

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

`m=(-9-3)/(3 - (-6))` (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

`m=(-9-3)/(3+6)`

`m=(-12)/(9)` Simplify the fraction

`m=(-4)/(3)`
