Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points
(5, 3) and (9, -6)?

Answer 1

-9/4

Explanation:

So the formula is
`y^2-y^1= rise\\x^2-x^1= run`

All you have to do is the second y-coordinate of the points minus the first y-coordinate. That should be -6 - 3= -9

Then for the run, you do 9 - 5= 4

Therefore, it is -9/4
