Question

How to find the slope of the line between (8,-2) and (-3,9)

Answer 1

Slope formula is y2-y1 over x2-x1

Once you find the slope you are going to need to put it into point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

Explanation:

9-(-2) divided by -3-8 is 11 over -11 which your slope is -1 m=-1

Then you use the point slope formula

y-(-2)=-1(x-8)

Then solve algebraically

Y+2=-1x+8

-2. -2

Y=-1x+6 , that is in slope-intercept form your m which is your slope is -1 and your b which is your y intercept is 6

So basically your answer is slope(m) which is -1.. hope this helps!!

Answer 2

-x or -1x

Explanation:

you would find the slope by doing the change in y over the change in x. in your case, the change in y is 11 and the change in x is -11.
