Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points A(-6, 2) and B(5, -1).

Answer 1

`(-3)/(11)`

Explanation:

You use the formula to solve:

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

`m =(-1-2)/(5+6)\\m = (-3)/(11)`

Answer 2

-3/11

Explanation:

The slope of the line is given by

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

= (-1-2)/(5--6)

= -3/(5+6)

= -3/11
