Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3)(−3,−3) and (-9, 5) ?(−9,5)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Slope= -4/3

Explanation:

The points are (−3,−3) and (-9, 5)

Slope= gradient between the two points

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

Where y2= 5

Y1= -3

X2= -9

X1= -3

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

Slope= (5-(-3))/(-9-(-3))

Slope= (5+3)/(-9+3)

Slope= 8/-6

Slope= -4/3
