Question

Find the slope of the line passing through (-3, 7) and (6, -11)

Answer 1

y= -2x+1

Explanation:

Make sure it checks out:

7= -2(-3)+1

7= 6+1

7= 7✓

-11= -2(6)+1

-11= -12+1

-11= -11✓

It checks out :)

Answer 2

The answer is - 2

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) \\`

From the question we have

`m = ( - 11 - 7)/(6 - - 3) = ( - 18)/(6 +3 ) = - (18)/(9) = - 2 \\`

We have the final answer as

- 2

Hope this helps you
