Question

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (5, 9)(11, - 3)

Answer 1

`x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3`

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

`m =(-3 -9)/(11-5)= -2`

And the best answer for this case would be :

`m=-2`

Explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

`x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3`

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

`m =(-3 -9)/(11-5)= -2`

And the best answer for this case would be :

`m=-2`
