Answer:


m=-4; the slope is -4

Explanation:


slope=(rise)/(run) =(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)

coordinates: (4,-9) (1,3)


(3-(-9))/(1-4)=(-12)/(-3) =-4

= -4 is your answer

hope this helped

Answer:

slope = - 4

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = 1, 3 )

m =
(3-(-9))/(1-4) =
(3+9)/(-3) =
(12)/(-3) = - 4
