Question

A line intersects the points (3,11) and (-9, -13). What is the slope of the line In simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer: m = 2

Explanation:

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

plug in values

`(-13-11)/(-9-3)`

simplify

`(-24)/(-12)`=2

⇒M = 2

Answer 2

m = 2

Explanation:

Write the slope formula

Substitute: m = - 13 - 11/ - 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: m = -24 / - 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: m = -24 /-12

Reduce the fraction: m = 2

Answer: m = 2
