Question

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?

Answer 1

The answer is

`-(9)/(7)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3)

The slope is

m = -3 - 6 / 5 -- 2 = - 9 /7

Hope this helps you
