Question

Find the slope and then write the slope as a simplified fraction

A) (-6,3) (9,7)
B)(4,-10)(-2,-6)

Answer 1

slope: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(-6, 3) (9, 7)

(7 - 3) / (9 + 6) = 4 / 15

y = 4/15x + b

slope: (4/15)x

(4, -10) (-2, -6)

(-6 + 10) / (-2 - 4) = 4 / -6 = 2 / -3

y = (-2/3)x + b

slope: (-2/3)x
