Answer:

The answer is 12

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

(1,3) and (0,−9)

The slope is


m = ( - 9 - 3)/(0 - 1) = ( - 12)/( - 1) = 12 \\

We have the final answer as

12

Hope this helps you
